SDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec 18 – Citibank was sued by one of its employees in Argentina, Alejandro de Nevares. Citibank then sued in the United States saying that a binding arbitration agreement prohibits the Argentine law suit.
On December 17, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Victor Marrero held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
Judge Marrero ruled that Alejandro de Nevares is in contempt and that he must withdraw from the Request for Clarification and if not, be subject to a coercive fine of $10,000 a day, "and this amount shall increase by an increment of $5000 every three days until he brings himself into compliance with the TRO by withdrawing from the Request for Clarification."
The case is The branch of Citibank, N.A. established in the Republic of Argentina v. De Nevares, 21-cv-6125 (Marrero)
