Arbitration. Court reverses ruling that court can decide arbitrability in the midst of an arbitration.

Bandler  v. Charter One Bank,  2012 VT 83 (Robinson, J.) 

This case presents the question of whether the superior court has authority to review questions regarding arbitrability in the midst of an arbitration, and outside of the specific review provisions in the Vermont Arbitration Act (VAA).  We conclude that it does not, and reverse the superior court’s ruling concerning the arbitrability of class claims in this case.
