Wachovia Bank, National Ass'n v. Schmidt

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 dispute was not arbitrable in part because “a court’s resolution of the . . . claims [would] require no inquiry into the Note’s terms, nor even knowledge of the Note’s existence.”
• considering an arbitration clause requiring arbitration of any dispute “arising out of, or 10 . relating to” the agreement
• “it is unfair for a party to ‘rely on [a] contract when it works to its advantage, and repudiate it when it works to its disadvantage.’”
• \The fact that a signatory receives benefits from a contract [other than the ability to assert claims based on the contract] is . . . insuf- ficient . . . to estop it from asserting that a nonsignatory is not entitled to invoke the contract’s arbitration clause.\
