U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-3519
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Murphy, Author, with Bye and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - arbitration. Order compelling arbitration was final and
appealable under the circumstances of the case; given the broad scope of
the parties' arbitration clause and the court's insistence on clarity before
concluding that the parties do not want to arbitrate a related matter, it
cannot be said with positive assurance that the arbitration clause in
question is not susceptible of an interpretation that covers all of Amtex's
claims, and the district court did not err in compelling arbitration.
