Reported overruled in part by City of Burlington v. Dague, 505 U.S. 557 (1992) — not on the Supreme Court's list

holding that, under an arbitration clause which read, “any controversy . . . arising under this Agreement,” no “provision of the contract [was] wholly outside of the arbitration provision”

How later courts described this case

  • holding that, under an arbitration clause which read, “any controversy . . . arising under this Agreement,” no “provision of the contract [was] wholly outside of the arbitration provision”
  • finding that prior ruling does not relieve a district court of its obligation to present the Court of Appeals with what it believes to be a correct judgment
  • while defendants assumed the risk that a judgment in their favor would not protect them from subsequent suits by other potential class members, they retained the “not inconse *151 quential protection of stare decisis regarding claims of unnamed plaintiffs”
  • by moving for summary judgment prior to the class determination and the sending out of class notice, the defendants “assumed the risk that a judgment in their favor would not protect them from subsequent suits by other potential class members.”
