Chancery Court Compels Arbitration

 Aveta, Inc. v. Bengoa, (Del. Ch., Dec. 11, 2008), read opinion here.  Hat tip to Delaware Business Litigation Report. This Chancery Court opinion is an example of a common type of case in Chancery where the court orders that the parties abide by an agreement to arbitrate disputes instead of litigating them. Thus, in this case a motion for judgment on the pleadings was granted to require arbitration and counterclaims were dismissed without prejudice so that they also could be addressed in arbitration.
