Arbitration is a matter of contract, grounded in the agreement of the parties. On a motion to compel or stay arbitration, the court first must determine whether the parties have agreed to submit their disputes to arbitration, and, if so, whether this particular dispute falls within the scope of their arbitration agreement.
