Description

In this appeal, we have been asked to decide whether the trial court properly denied the appellants preliminary objections and permanently stayed arbitration. Specifically, we must determine whether the arbitration clause contained in a construction contract between an owner and a general contractor who then assigned the contract to another contractor is invoked in a contract dispute between the owner and the assignee-contractor. For the reasons set forth below, we hold that the arbitration clause is assignable and is therefore invoked in this dispute. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for arbitration proceedings.
