How courts have described this case

• recognizing that the requirement of a pre-suit demand for arbitration would, in certain circumstances, subject a party to claims that might not otherwise have been brought in either arbitration or court proceedings
• holding that defendant did not waive its right to invoke arbitration after filing an answer denying liability, filing counterclaims, attempting to implead parties, and participating in two depositions before demanding arbitration
• concluding there was no waiver despite filing answer denying liability, filing counterclaims, attempting to implead parties, and allowing depositions before demanding arbitration
• filing answer, counterclaim, and impleading a party did not constitute waiver where actions served to protect un-arbitrable claims

• noting a party “had to” file an answer or suffer default judgment
