New York Court of Appeals

In the Matter of Primex International Corp., Formerly Known as Primex International Trading Corporation, Appellant…

March 27, 199789 N.Y.2d 594

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the 1995 agreement's merger clause did not eliminate the arbitration obligations contained in the earlier 1990 and 1993 agreements, and therefore granted Primex's petition to compel arbitration of the claims arising under those prior contracts. The court remitted the matter to the Supreme Court, New York County, to determine which claims are subject to arbitration.
