The Court granted a motion to compel arbitration. It held that by selecting the Dominican Chamber of Commerce in their arbitration provision, the parties implicitly incorporated the Arbitration Law of the Dominican Republic and its kompetenz-kompetenz principles in their contract. Hence, issues of arbitrability were to be decided by the arbitrators. The Court denied the arguments that it should nevertheless decide arbitrability under the Panama Convention, and that it should decide arbitrability where the party seeking to compel arbitration was a non-signatory. Finally, the Court found that the claims fell within the scope of the arbitration clause.
