| Question presented | Apple Inc., Petitioner v. Epic Games, Inc.1. Whether a court may hold a party in civil contempt based on a violation of an injunction's "spirit" where the injunction is silent as to the conduct upon which contempt is based, as the Ninth Circuit holds; or, instead, whether a court must ground a finding of civil contempt on the violation of an order that clearly and unambiguously proscribes the precise conduct at issue, as other circuits hold. 2. Whether the Ninth Circuit has properly created an "antitrust" or "competition" exception to Trump v. CASA, Inc ., 606 U.S. 831 (2025), and the longstanding equitable principles on which CASA rests, or otherwise disregarded CASA 's limits. | Kevin Lee Biglow v. Dell Technologies Inc.1. Whether an arbitral tribunal exceeds its powers under 9 U.S.C. § 10(a)(4) by dismissing Title VII civil rights claims on limitations grounds where the parties' contract and federal law expressly carve out such claims from mandatory arbitration. 2. Whether a court of appeals violates its duty of meaningful judicial review under the Federal Arbitration Act by affirming an arbitration award where the tribunal declined to rule on the petitioner's threshold jurisdictional submissions during a fifty-four-day period preceding the award. 3. Whether an arbitration award must be vacated under 9 U.S.C. § 10(a)(2) where the arbitral forum appointed an arbitrator whom the petitioner had contractually struck from the panel, and the successor arbitrator adopted the disqualified arbitrator's procedural rulings without an independent hearing. 4. Whether an arbitration award must be vacated under 9 U.S.C. §§ 10(a)(1) and 10(a)(3) where the award rests on factual findings that are demonstrably refuted by the certified administrative record and the petitioner was denied a meaningful opportunity to present evidence. |
| Summary | Apple Inc., Petitioner v. Epic Games, Inc.The Court will consider whether Apple could be held in civil contempt for conduct that allegedly violated the “spirit” of an injunction in its dispute with Epic Games, even though the injunction did not expressly prohibit that conduct. It will also consider whether the Ninth Circuit could uphold relief extending beyond the parties under an asserted antitrust or competition-law exception to limits on federal courts’ equitable power. | Kevin Lee Biglow v. Dell Technologies Inc.Kevin Lee Biglow asks the Supreme Court to review a Tenth Circuit decision affirming an arbitration award that dismissed his Title VII workplace-discrimination claims. He argues the arbitrator lacked authority to decide those claims, failed to address his objections, was improperly appointed, and denied him a fair chance to present evidence. |
