?? The amendment threatens to complicate domestic trade even further. Many states already have individual hemp programs with varied regulations, and if the amendment passes as is, we could see stricter limitations on product sales across state lines. This could force some operators to shut down entirely. ??????We need to advocate for clearer regulations that promote growth and opportunity, rather than stifle them.

“Potential errors are simply ‘the price of agreeing to arbitration.’” In *Dickson v. Tilray Brands, Inc.,* the Honorable Nancy E. Brasel, Judge of US District Court for the 8th Circuit, recently issued a soundly-reasoned, pleasure to read, Order that upheld the arbitrator’s award in favor of the terminated Dickson and against Tilray. Judge Brasel plowed through Tilray’s weak legal arguments faster than Plowy McPlowFace after a blizzard. She affirmed the award of $4,001,524 to Dickson, former president of Manitoba Harvest, who was entitled to the award under a “change of control” provision in her employment agreement. The Court properly ruled that in this case the FAA, rather than state law, was the applicable law in a challenge to the arbitration proceeding. Normally, even though my arbitrator colleagues beg to differ, we advise clients not to sign agreements with arbitration clauses because arbitration can be as expensive as litigation, and it is typically a less satisfying process. Also, grounds for appeal are curtailed. #LessonsLearned #Mediation #ADR #MediationIsTheCatsPajamas
