New York Court of Appeals
In the Matter of the Arbitration Between Albrecht Chemical Co., Inc., Respondent, and Anderson Trading Corp., Appellant
March 3, 1949298 N.Y. 437
Summary
The Court reversed the lower court, holding that the unsigned purchase orders containing an arbitration clause did not create a binding arbitration agreement because the contract to arbitrate must be in writing and the seller’s silence did not constitute acceptance.
