A New York judge has made an historic ruling in the case between JAY-Z and Iconix Brand Group over the Roc Nation logo. The judge has granted the Roc Nation CEO’s request to halt the arbitration because of the lack of unbiased, black arbitrators presented to him.

“This is historic,” said JAY-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Jay and Iconix feuded in court over their $200 Million deal which was signed back in 2008 over the use of the famous logo by the Major League Baseball’s hats and other popular goods. This past October, Iconix made a play to move forward with proceedings at the American Arbitration Association under a settlement agreement prior to the lawsuits. However, Jay argued that Roc Nation’s agreement with Iconix Brand Group ignored New York’s public policy against discrimination.

“After a preliminary conference with the AAA, Mr. Carter and his companies sought to choose an arbitrator pursuant to the parties’ agreement, which required consultation of a list of more than 200 prospective neutrals,” Spiro wrote in a petition over the arbitration. “When Mr. Carter began reviewing arbitrators on the AAA’s Search Platform, however, he was confronted with a stark reality: he could not identify a single African-American arbitrator on the ‘Large and Complex Cases’ roster, composed of hundreds of arbitrators, that had the background and experience to preside over the Arbitration. After repeated requests to the AAA for diverse arbitrators with expertise in complex commercial law, the AAA was able to provide only three neutrals it identified as African-American: two men — one of whom was a partner at the law firm representing Iconix in this arbitration and thus had a glaringly obvious conflict of interest — and one woman.”

The document from Carter called this “shocking” and argued that it would “deprive black litigants like Mr. Carter and his companies of the equal protection of the laws, equal access to public accommodations, and mislead consumers into believing that they will receive a fair and impartial adjudication.”

After New York Supreme Court Justice Saliann Scarpulla ruled in JAY-Z and Roc Nation’s favor, a temporary restraining order was issued by the judge, putting the arbitration on ice until Dec. 11, which will be their next court date.
