Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court reversed the Appellate Division and held that the trial court should have denied the motion to compel arbitration, finding that equitable estoppel cannot be used to force arbitration absent a written arbitration agreement, detrimental reliance, or an agency relationship. The Court limited the application of an “intertwinement” theory and remanded for further proceedings.
