In re the Arbitration between Mott Gardens, Inc. & Prudential Lumber Corp.
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided November 29, 1954
284 A.D. 988; 136 N.Y.S.2d 379; 1954 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 4323
In re the Arbitration between Mott Gardens, Inc. & Prudential Lumber Corp.

Opinion of the Court

In a proceeding to stay arbitration, it appears that a writing was signed by both parties in respect of the sale and purchase of lumber, and that the writing states near its beginning that the transaction is " subject to the terms and conditions contained on the back hereof ”. Included on the back is a provision for arbitration of disputes. The *989buyer seeks a stay of arbitration on the ground that the writing, although signed, does not constitute a contract because of fraud, mutual mistake, lack of consideration, lack of mutuality. Order denying application to stay arbitration affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements. No opinion. Adel, Acting P. J., Wenzel, MaeCrate, Beldock and Murphy, JJ., concur.
