- 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
