Earlier this week, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that 28 U.S.C. section 1782—which permits courts to order discovery “for use in a proceeding in a foreign or international tribunal”—does not authorize a district court to order discovery for use in any arbitration conducted by a non-governmental body. Specifically, the Court held that “only a governmental or intergovernmental adjudicative body constitutes a ‘foreign or international tribunal’ under § 1782” and explained that “[s]uch bodies are those that exercise governmental authority conferred by one nation or multiple nations.”
