Questions presented

9 U.S.C. §§ 2, The Act’s clause—which allows courts to refuse to enforce arbitration agreements “upon such grounds as exist at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract,” § 2—recognizes only “gen­ erally applicable contract defenses, such as fraud, duress, or unconscionability.” The Questions Presented Are:

  1. Whether the Judge exceeded her authority when she ruled only “breach of contract” and granted compelling arbitration if the Petitioner’s claim concerns “breach of contract and Grand theft (over millions of dollars)”, when Theft/Fraud Allows Courts to Refuse to Enforce Arbitration Agreements.

  2. Whether the 11th Circuit Court correctly dis­ missed the Petitioner’s case if she appealed the lower Court’s departure from the essential requirements of law, and she appealed under FI. Rule 9.130(a)(3)(C)(iv) whether the lower court properly determined a party’s right to arbitration.
