Seifert v. US Home Corp.
green
1 sentence2025When two contracting parties disagree as to whether a particular dispute must be submitted to arbitration, our courts first look at whether the language of the arbitration clause is "narrow" or "broad." Generally, clauses requiring arbitration of controversies "under" or "arising out of" the contract have been interpreted narrowly, restricting arbitration to claims "relating to the interpretation of the contract and matter of performance." See Seifert, 750 So. 2d at 636 -37 (quoting Mediterranean Enters. v. Ssangyong Corp., 708 F.2d 1458 , 1464 (9th Circ. 1961)). | 1 | 2025–2025 |
