How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that the nonarbitrable fraud claims had to be stayed pending resolution of the arbitrable issue because the fraud claims depended upon the arbi-trable issues
- holding that “limited participation in the judicial forum” does not constitute waiver
- holding that plaintiff who sued a corporate defendant with whom it had agreed to limited arbitration, as well as two of its individual principals, could not be compelled to arbitrate its claims against principal merely because claims were based on common facts and circumstances
- interpreting § 3-209 to reflect the Legislature’s anticipation “that there may be non-arbitrable issues that are closely related to, and indeed dependent upon, arbitrable issues”
- “A waiver ... may result from an express agreement or be inferred from the circumstances,” but “will not be inferred from equivocal acts or language.”
- mere filing of motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction not a waiver of arbitration
