November 24, 2020 On July 14, 2020, the New Jersey Supreme Court issued a joint decision in the matters of Colon v. Strategic Delivery Solutions, LLC and Arafa v. Health Express Corp., 243 N.J. 147, and conclusively held that arbitration agreements exempt under section 1 of the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) can still be enforced under the New Jersey Arbitration Act (NJAA), even where the parties' agreement expressly provides for the application of the FAA and makes no mention of the applicable state law. Colon and Arafa both involved arbitration agreements in the contracts of pharmaceutical transportation workers and addressed the issue of whether those agreements could be enforced under the NJAA if they were exempt under section 1 of the FAA. In fact, the FAA specifically permits states to regulate contracts containing arbitration agreements under general contract principles. [Extracted from the article]
