In the case of GE Energy Power Conversion France SAS v. Outokumpu Stainless USA LLC, 2019, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of GE Energy. The dispute arose when motors supplied by GE Energy to a steel plant owned by Outokumpu failed. Outokumpu sued for breach of contract but did not include GE Energy as they were not directly part of the initial agreement. However, under an international convention known as the New York Convention that governs arbitration agreements between parties from different countries, non-signatories can compel arbitration if it is appropriate under domestic law - in this case US law. The court held that because U.S laws allow nonsignatory companies to enforce arbitration clauses under certain conditions (such as "equitable estoppel"), these rules should be applied even when dealing with international contracts and disputes involving foreign businesses like GE Energy's French subsidiary. This ruling clarifies how courts should interpret and apply international conventions alongside domestic laws regarding commercial disputes and reaffirms support for resolving such issues through arbitration rather than litigation whenever possible.

In the case of GE Energy Power Conversion France SAS v. Outokumpu Stainless USA LLC, there was no dissenting opinion recorded as the decision by the Supreme Court was unanimous. The court ruled in favor of GE Energy, stating that non-signatories to an arbitration agreement could compel arbitration under the United Nations Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York Convention). This ruling overturned a previous decision from the 11th Circuit Court which had held that only signatories to an agreement could enforce international commercial arbitration agreements under U.S law.
