District of Columbia Circuit—Consulting Agreement–Federal
Arbitration Act; Standing to Stay Foreign Litigation and Compel Arbitration–Ex Parte Proceedings

The District of Columbia Circuit held that a petition to compel arbitration was properly denied where the moving party lacked standing to sue because its claimed injury could not be redressed by the district court.  Raytheon Co. v. Ashborn Agencies, Ltd., 372 F.3d 451 (D.C. Cir. 2004).
In 1977, Raytheon Company’s predecessor in interest entered into a consulting agreement with Ashborn Agencies, Ltd., an Israeli company.
