Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court January 11, 1989 (Home Gas Corp. of Massachusetts, Inc. v. Walter's of Hadley, Inc.)

Abrams, J.

At issue is the correctness of an order for stay of arbitration. The defendant made the demand for arbitration two and one-half years after the commencement of the action, and after a fourteen-day hearing before a master with facts final. In his report, the master recommended judgment for the plaintiff.
