Question presented
Whether, when contract formation is the threshold issue and remains specifically disputed, a court may compel arbitration based on a separately titled transaction document treated as undisputed because the challenger did not identify that document by title, or based on subsequent performance, where the challenger disputed formation of an enforceable agreement and the signatures and authorizations relied upon to establish assent. Whether, under 9 U.S.C. § 4, a sworn denial and specific supporting evidence disputing execution, authorization, attribution, and assent require the court to resolve the making of the arbitration agreement before compelling arbitration.
