The MASN Case: Will The Case Go Back To The RSDC?
In the beginning of November, MASN was victorious in court. Justice Marks ruled that the RSDC proceeding objectively demonstrated an utter lack of concern for fairness that is “so inconsistent with the basic principles of justice” that the award must be vacated. Ever since, the Court, MASN, MLB and the Nationals have attempted to negotiate next steps.
MASN has insisted that the case be reheard in front of a neutral, unbiased panel such as the American Arbitration Association. When neither the Nationals nor MLB would accede to this request, MASN filed a limited appeal of the court’s decision, insisting that the court should have ruled that the case be heard by a different panel.
