Baseball #Arbitration Helps Uphold AT&T/Time Warner Merger


“Baseball arbitration” is a common name for final-offer arbitration, in which the arbitrator’s choice of rulings is limited to choosing between two dollar amounts, one proposed by each disputing party. In Major League Baseball this procedure is used to resolve salary disputes. More on baseball arbitration can be found here.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit recently mentioned baseball arbitration as it upheld a lower court ruling approving the merger of AT&T and Time Warner. While the U.S. Dept. of Justice sought to block the merger, CNN explains, irrevocable offers to engage in baseball arbitration were key to defusing this concern for the Court of Appeals.
