The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus BP P. L. C. ET AL. v. MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF BALTIMORE CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 19–1189. Argued January 19, 2021—Decided May 17, 2021 Baltimore’s Mayor and City Council (collectively City) sued various en- ergy companies in Maryland state court alleging that the companies concealed the environmental impacts of the fossil fuels they promoted. The defendant companies removed the case to federal court invoking a number of grounds for federal jurisdiction, including the federal officer removal statute, 28 U. S. C. §1442. The City argued that none of the defendants’ various grounds for removal justified retaining federal ju- risdiction, and the district court agreed, issuing an order remanding the case back to state court. Although an order remanding a case to state court is ordinarily unreviewable on appeal, Congress has deter- mined that appellate review is available for those orders “remanding a case to the State court from which it was removed pursuant to section 1442 or 1443 of [Title 28].” §1447(d). The Fourth Circuit read this provision to authorize appellate review only for the part of a remand order deciding the §1442 or §1443 removal ground.

  • Failure to Disclose but No Bias: the UKSC's Decision in Halliburton
    Debevoise In Depth Failure to Disclose but No Bias: The UKSC’s Decision in Halliburton Company (Appellant) v. Chubb Bermuda Insurance Ltd (Respondent) 14 December 2020 The UK Supreme Court unanimously upheld the Court of Appeal’s decision that arbitrators appointed in arbitrations seated in England have a legal duty to disclose subsequent appointments in other arbitrations where there is an overlap in parties and subject matter. The Supreme Court held that, in the present case, while the chair of the tribunal had breached this duty to disclose, the facts and circumstances did not call into question his impartiality. Halliburton’s appeal and its request that the chair be removed were dismissed. Background The dispute originates in the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil and gas rig in the Gulf of Mexico on 20 April 2010. Halliburton provided cementing and well-monitoring services on the rig, which was leased by BP and operated by Transocean. The U.S. government pursued each corporation for the devastating environmental damage caused by the incident. Halliburton settled with the government for US$1.1 billion, and subsequently sought to recover that sum from its insurer, Chubb. Chubb refused to pay out under the insurance policy—a Bermuda Form policy—on the basis that the settlement amount was unreasonable. The insurance policy was governed by New York law and provided that disputes were to be resolved by arbitration seated in London. Each party was allowed to appoint an arbitrator, with the chair of the tribunal to be agreed by the parties. The parties could not agree on a chair, so the High Court appointed Kenneth Rokison QC (referred to as “M” in the decisions of the High Court and Court of Appeal), whom Chubb had proposed.
