9 U.S.C. § 3 — Stay of proceedings where issue therein referable to arbitration
submitted 79 years ago by ch. 392 to r/title-9-ARBITRATION · 101 words · no verdicts yet
If a lawsuit in a U.S. court involves an issue the parties agreed in writing to arbitrate, the court must pause the trial once it confirms that agreement applies. The court will not pause the case, though, if the party asking for the pause is the one refusing to arbitrate.
If any suit or proceeding be brought in any of the courts of the United States upon any issue referable to arbitration under an agreement in writing for such arbitration, the court in which such suit is pending, upon being satisfied that the issue involved in such suit or proceeding is referable to arbitration under such an agreement, shall on application of one of the parties stay the trial of the action until such arbitration has been had in accordance with the terms of the agreement, providing the applicant for the stay is not in default in proceeding with such arbitration.
