(2) If a guaranteed IB is named as a defendant in the request for arbitration, the NFA will immediately send a copy of the completed request for arbitration to the FCM or RFED member who guaranteed the IB during the period of the acts or transactions involved in the claim. This fcm or RFED member may intervene in the arbitration if he or she so wishes. (1) In the course of arbitration, a party may at any time withdraw a claim against any defendant who has not filed a response. A written declaration of withdrawal must be submitted to the NFA.

In 2016, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) fined DV $5 million to settle allegations that traders from its predecessors engaged in launderable Eurodollar futures transactions between 2013 and 2015. The plaintiffs, who had negotiated futures contracts for DV until August 2016, filed this lawsuit individually, seeking damages from DV for alleged violation of the anti-fraud, laundry and whistleblower retaliation provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA), as well as a decision finding that the plaintiffs were not required to: DV to reimburse part of the penalty. Extensions of time limits or postponements of oral proceedings may be granted by the court if the interests of the judiciary so require; however, an ongoing hearing may be adjourned or adjourned only in compelling circumstances. If a member or associated party withdraws from NFA membership during the arbitration within 60 days of the scheduled hearing, the panel will grant a postponement of the hearing if another party to the proceedings who has a claim against the retiring member or associate member so requests. (8) Evidence that is otherwise discoverable or admissible in arbitration proceedings shall not be rendered untraceable or inadmissible by its use in mediation proceedings. However, written documents and information in the mediator`s possession are not subject to disclosure and may not be summoned for use at the subsequent arbitration hearing. While the Court concluded that the plaintiffs had not benefited directly from the contract of employment because, as employees and shareholders of their respective companies, they held an indirect financial share of the profits at issue, the Court held that the concessionaires were nevertheless prevented from circumventing the arbitration clause of the works contract because of the damage suffered by the plaintiffs as a result of DV`s alleged violations of the provisions of the ECA.
on the washing trade and the fight against fraud was a profit referred to in the arbitration clause of the operating contract. they would have been entitled, where appropriate, to the company agreement, and the applicants therefore wanted to benefit directly from the company agreement. Accordingly, the tribunal granted DV`s request to force arbitration with respect to the declaratory action. Notice and consent must be in writing and submitted to the NFA. Revocation is without prejudice, unless otherwise specified in the notification or consent. Neither the party to the arbitration nor any representative of the arbitration may communicate with a panellist about the arbitration, except in the case of requests for information on the status of the arbitration, unless this is done at the oral hearing or in writing at the time of notification by the other parties. (2) Claims over $50,000 to $150,000. If the amount of the request for arbitration exceeds $50,000 but does not exceed $150,000, the response will be served within 45 days of the NFA serving the request for arbitration. An arbitration fee of $375 will be attached to each response. Any response not accompanied by the corresponding costs will be returned by the NFA to the notifying party.
In this case, the party making the request must provide a complete response to the NFA within 20 days of service by the NFA, along with any outstanding fees. The NFA rejects any response for which the corresponding fee has not been paid. Any respondent who submits a response but does not pay the service fee has waived his or her right to a hearing and any other participation in the proceedings. However, the Committee may, for cause, accept the reply and allow the respondent to participate. A federal judge in the Northern District of Illinois has ruled that Chicago-based derivatives company DV Trading LLC can force three futures traders to settle claims that it is withholding $1.6 million to pay a $5 million fine for alleged market manipulation. The costs that may be included in an arbitral award are generally limited to the cost of a copy that a party may request (see article 9 (d) (4)). However, a panel may impose on a party one or more of the following other costs if it is determined that that party`s claim or defence was frivolous or was raised in bad faith, or that the party committed intentional acts in bad faith during the arbitration: reasonable and necessary costs incurred (a) by the arbitrators or (b) by another party or witness; including reasonable attorneys` fees. The Committee may also grant lawyers` fees if there is a legal or contractual basis for the award of such fees. Claims for attorneys` fees and costs incurred in connection with the arbitration must be made in the course of the proceedings or be waived. (a) Except as provided in article 6 (n), a party may at any time be represented throughout the arbitration, including mediation, by a lawyer admitted to practise before the highest court of a State, by a family member or by another person who represents the party without compensation and has no interest in the outcome of the proceedings; or by an officer, partner or employee of the Party. The attorney or other representative must inform the NFA and the other parties in writing in a timely manner of the name and address of that representative. The Panel may exclude any representative from the proceedings for delaying, disruptive or offensive conduct.
(2) Counterclaims, follow-up requests and third party claims. Except as otherwise provided in sections 5 and 6 of this Code with respect to expeditiousness requirements, a counterclaim, a cross-claim or a claim by a third party may be brought in arbitration initiated under this Code if the counterclaim, follow-up claim or claim of a third party is due to an act or transaction that is the subject of the request for arbitration. (9) All acts and statements, offers and promises, whether oral or written, made by the parties or their representatives in connection with a mediation proceeding are confidential and are not admissible for any purpose, including dismissal, in any ongoing or subsequent arbitration.
