10-21-09 D.R. HORTON, INC., NEW JERSEY V. J.J. DELUCA CO., INC.
A-1041-08T2
We affirm, for reasons stated by the Chancery Division, a
judgment holding that the New Jersey Arbitration Act, N.J.S.A.
2A:23B-10(c), does not vest exclusive jurisdiction in the courts
to decide motions to consolidate two or more pending arbitration
proceedings and therefore the matter may proceed before a
neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's (AAA) procedural rules.
