California Court of Appeal January 21, 1998, B112571 (Fed. Ins. Co. v. Superior Court of Ventura Cty.)

Opinion

GILBERT, Acting P. J.

A subcontractor and a prime contractor on a public works project have a dispute. Their agreement provides that disputes be resolved by way of arbitration. Here we hold that the subcontractor’s suit against the prime contractor’s surety must be stayed until completion of the arbitration.
