Mealey's (March 29, 2019, 12:35 PM EDT) -- NEW ORLEANS — The Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on March 26 reversed a decision dismissing a law firm’s request to intervene in a breach of contract case involving an arbitration award issued for a Malaysian entity, holding that a district court erred in finding that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the firm’s claims that it was denied attorney fees to which it was entitled when the parties secretly settled the award amount without the firm’s knowledge (Adam Joseph Resources [M] SDN., et al. v. CNA Metals Limited, No. 17-20685, 5th Cir., 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 9007)....
