Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc., v. William Hamilton Smythe, III, Individually; William H. Smythe, IV, Trust U/A/DTD 12/29/87, William H. Smythe, III, Trustee; and Smythe Children's Trust #2 FBO Katherine S. Thinnes U/A/DTD 12/29/87

Case Number
W2010-01339-COA-R3-CV

This appeal involves a trial court’s order vacating an arbitration award. The parties engaged in arbitration over a dispute in which the respondent investors asserted that the petitioner investment company mismanaged their funds. The investors prevailed and received a substantial arbitration award against the investment company. The investment company filed a petition in the trial court to vacate the arbitration award, alleging partiality and bias on the part of two members of the arbitration panel. After a hearing, the trial court entered an order vacating the arbitration award and remanding the matter to the regulatory authority for a rehearing before another panel of arbitrators. The respondent investors now appeal. We
dismiss the appeal for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
