How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that when an arbitration agreement falls under the Convention, “the court must order arbitration unless it determines the agreement is null and void”
  • holding that clear intent to incorporate by reference suffices where there is no express incorporation-by-reference provision
  • holding that an arbitration clause incorporated by reference in a contract contained in an exchange of letters was enforceable under the New York Convention
  • holding that, because the arbitration clause was in a contract contained in an exchange of letters, the Convention’s “agreement in writing” requirement was satisfied and arbitration rightly compelled
  • holding, under Pennsylvania's Uniform Commercial Code, that an appended arbitration agreement was incorporated by reference into the contract even though one of the contracting parties had never received the appendix
  • following Kahn Lucas to hold that the Convention Treaty’s “signed by the parties” requirement applied to “an arbi-tral clause within a contract or a separate arbitration agreement”
