California Court of Appeal

Denial of motion to compel arbitration under a contractual provision for binding arbitration is reversed where that the trial court erred in deciding that individual defendants, who were not signatories to a contract containing an arbitration provision but were sued as alter egos of a corporate defendant that was a signatory, may not compel another signatory party to arbitrate the controversies raised in the complaint.
