United States First Circuit

In this case, the two parties provided under contract that any dispute arising from that contract would be resolved by arbitration. Judgment of the lower court finding a conduct-based waiver of the arbitration clause and denying plaintiff's motion to stay court proceedings in order to clear the way for arbitration is affirmed, where: 1) the district court did not err in concluding that the plaintiff has, through its conduct, waived its right to demand arbitration; and 2) defendant demonstrated that granting a stay would cause him prejudice.
