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.
