New York Court of Appeals
Pearl Street Development Corporation, Appellant v. Conduit and Foundation Corporation, Respondent
December 28, 197641 N.Y.2d 167
Summary
The Court of Appeals held that under a broad arbitration clause, questions of contract interpretation—including whether conditions precedent in the general contract apply to a subcontract arbitration—are for the arbitrators to decide, and therefore affirmed the lower court's order compelling arbitration.
