New York Court of Appeals

In the Matter of the Arbitration between Robert E. Waldron, and Lynn B. Goddess

February 21, 198461 N.Y.2d 181

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division, granting a stay of arbitration and denying the motion to compel arbitration because neither Waldron's nor Goddess's employment contracts contained a clear, explicit agreement to arbitrate disputes between the two employees, and Goddess's expired contract could not be enforced.
