An arbitrator awarded over $10 million to a former employee of a Royal Caribbean subsidiary who said he suffered a ‘catastrophic’ spinal injury

• An arbitrator awarded former Celebrity Cruises employee Slobodan Despot $10.3 million on June 6.
• The award came four years after Despot suffered what his attorneys described as a “catastrophic” spinal injury on Celebrity‘s Eclipse ship.
• But Celebrity filed a petition on July 12 to cancel the award.
• Celebrity’s attorneys alleged that the arbitrator was biased after successfully soliciting a donation to a favorite charity from Despot’s attorneys.
• “In regard to the substance of the allegations in Celebrity’s petition, they are without merit,” John Hickey, one of Despot’s attorneys, told Business Insider.
