Maggie Tamburro – November 6, 2012<\/p>\n

We all make mistakes. No matter how careful you are, how well prepared you are, mistakes happen to the best of us, even experts.<\/p>\n

Does an expert\u2019s mistake spell disaster for your case?\u00a0 Not necessarily, according to a surprising reversal by the 5th<\/sup>\u00a0Circuit Court of Appeals.<\/p>\n

In this recent securities case involving a mistake in expert testimony, the 5th<\/sup>\u00a0Circuit ordered a lower court to \u201cundo\u201d its decision to vacate a multi-million dollar arbitration award against securities broker defendant Morgan Keegan.<\/p>\n

The reason? \u00a0Although acknowledging the expert in the case relied on erroneous numbers, the appellate court determined that the mistake, without more, did not mean the arbitration award was procured by fraud.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the difference between an expert mistake and fraud?\u00a0\u00a0 More than $9 million, according to this case.<\/p>\n

A $9 Million Mistake?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The case arose when 18 investors claimed that securities broker Morgan Keegan allegedly engaged in an improper scheme inducing them to invest in \u201chighly risky\u201d bond funds between 1998 and 2008. The investors\u2019 claims were heard by an arbitration panel of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), in which the investors\u2019 securities analyst expert gave allegedly false testimony.\u00a0 The testimony resulted in an arbitration award for the investors of more than $9 million.<\/p>\n

Morgan Keegan persuaded the U.S. District Court for the S.D. of Texas to vacate the award. \u00a0In vacating the award, the district court found in part that the arbitration panel based its damages calculations on knowingly false expert witness testimony.<\/p>\n

The investors appealed the lower court\u2019s decision to vacate the award, and the 5th Circuit sided with the investors \u2013 reversing, remanding, and ordering the entry of a judgment enforcing the arbitration award against Morgan Keegan.<\/p>\n

The Mistake<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the arbitration, the investors\u2019 technical expert witness, a securities analyst, provided testimony on the issue of damages.\u00a0 However, approximately one week later, during a different arbitration involving other claimants (but the same defendant), the same expert provided revised calculations that revealed an error. \u00a0In explaining the reason for the differing numbers, the expert explained that one of his staff members had, quite simply, made a mistake. The expert stated that he hadn\u2019t been aware of the errors when he testified in the arbitration at issue here.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although\u00a0acknowledging\u00a0the expert\u2019s testimony during the arbitration was based upon a mistake, the 5th\u00a0<\/sup>Circuit reversed the district court\u2019s decision to vacate the arbitration award in favor of the investors.\u00a0 The 5th\u00a0<\/span>Circuit reasoned that, despite the error in the expert\u2019s testimony, the award was not procured by fraud.<\/p>\n

Agree to Disagree\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both the district court and the appellate court agreed on the rule:\u00a0 \u00a0A court may refuse to enforce an arbitration award where the award was procured by fraud. \u00a0From there, however, they parted ways.<\/p>\n

Fraud Defined<\/strong><\/p>\n

The appellate court first determined that fraud requires a showing of bad faith. \u00a0The circuit gave concrete examples, none of which were involved in this instance, including bribery, undisclosed bias of an arbitrator, willfully destroying or withholding evidence, and perjury. The expert\u2019s false testimony simply didn\u2019t amount to fraud under the meaning discussed by the court.<\/p>\n

Requirements to Show an Arbitration Award was Procured by Fraud<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), in order to show an arbitration award was procured by fraud, a party has a burden of proof that requires meeting\u00a0all<\/em>\u00a0the elements of a three part test.<\/p>\n

A party must show:<\/p>\n

\n

(1) that the fraud occurred by clear and convincing evidence;<\/p>\n

(2) that the fraud was not discoverable by due diligence\u00a0before\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0during<\/em>\u00a0the arbitration hearing [emphasis added]; and<\/p>\n

(3) the fraud materially related to an issue in the arbitration.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Because the defendant failed to meet the second element of the test, the court never addressed the other two.<\/p>\n

Focusing solely on the second element, the circuit court determined the dispositive factor was one of timing and due diligence. The circuit court concluded that the error was discovered by the expert\u00a0after<\/em>\u00a0the expert gave his testimony, but that opposing counsel was made aware of the error and provided corrected numbers \u2013 in conjunction with the separate arbitration, interestingly \u2013 almost two weeks\u00a0before<\/em>\u00a0the arbitration award was issued.<\/p>\n

The court stated, \u201cHad Morgan Keegan performed its due diligence, the fact that [the investors\u2019 expert\u2019s] calculations failed to include some internally-priced securities would have been discovered even before [the expert] testified in the [instant] arbitration, thus obviating any concern that the arbitration panel would rely on erroneous calculations in issuing the award.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thus, the circuit held that the brokerage company couldn\u2019t meet its burden of proof.<\/p>\n

Arbitration<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another important factor in the circuit court decision involved the circumstances under which the expert testimony was given \u2013 that of arbitration.\u00a0 The 5th<\/sup>\u00a0Circuit noted that judicial review of arbitration decisions should not be undertaken lightly. \u00a0Quoting the U.S. Supreme Court, the 5th<\/sup>\u00a0Circuit noted, \u201cCourts\u2026do not sit to hear claims of factual or legal error by an arbitrator as an appellate court does in reviewing decisions of lower courts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although a party has the right to ask a court to review the arbitrator\u2019s decision, if a party has agreed to arbitrate, by virtue of that decision the party gives up much of that right\u2019s practical value. \u00a0As a result, a reviewing court may only set aside an arbitrator\u2019s decision in \u201cvery unusual circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this important reversal and remand of a district\u2019s court\u2019s decision to vacate an award made before an arbitration panel of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FIRNA), the Circuit Court pointed out that mistakes can happen to the best of us, even experts, and don\u2019t necessarily spell doom for your case.<\/p>\n

This reversal leaves a few simple lessons for securities defendants and experts:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An expert mistake, without more, doesn\u2019t equal fraud.<\/li>\n
  2. Timing and due diligence are critical, and sometimes knowledge can be imputed.<\/li>\n
  3. If you agree to something ahead of time, it\u2019s tough to change the rules mid-game (for example, an agreement to arbitrate).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Do you think this will be the end of the line for this case?\u00a0 Or is this expert issue, like\u00a0another I recently addressed<\/a>, (and incidentally argued just yesterday before the U.S. Supreme Court), ripe for review?<\/p>\n
