Question presented
The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) reflects “a liberal federal policy favoring arbitration agreements.” CompuCredit Corp. v. Greenwood, 565 U.S. 95, 98 (2012) (quoting Moses H. Cone Mem’l Hosp. v. Mercury Constr. Corp., 460 U.S. 1, 24 (1983)). In the case below, the signatories to a contract agreed to arbitrate any claim “arising out of” the contract, and suit was subsequently brought relating to the performance of that contract. The Question Presented is: Whether placing the “tort” label on a claim excludes that claim from the scope of the dispute resolution clause in the parties’ contract.
