ISSUE:
- Whether a clause in the arbitration agreement specifying exclusive jurisdiction be nullified?
RULE:
- If the arbitration agreement between the parties contains an exclusive jurisdiction clause that specifies a certain location as having jurisdiction over all issues related to the arbitration agreement, that provision by itself would nullify the jurisdiction of any other court in that matter.
- Even if the entire cause of action does not occur at the location given exclusive jurisdiction, this will still be affirmed.
