PARTIES -- STANDING OF NONSIGNATORY TO COMPEL ARBITRATION -- ILLINOIS.
- Abstract
This article reviews the court decision regarding the case Property Management Ltd. v. Howasa Inc. under the Appellate Court of Illinois decided on September 20, 1973. The court may not compel a party to an arbitration agreement to arbitrate with another who was named in the agreement but who was not a party to the agreement. Plaintiff and lessor, a Bahamian corporation had entered into a lease with a Spanish firm (lessee) that, like defendants, was a subsidiary. Plaintiff sued the defendants, a Belgium and a Delaware corporation for alleged interference with plaintiff's lease with the lessee. The trial court granted the motion. In reversing, the appellate court held that defendants had no standing to compel plaintiff to arbitrate.
