Enforcing Multi-Tier Agreements Sample Clauses

Enforcing Multi-Tier Agreements. Multi-tier agreements are contracts, and as a general matter are enforceable in the same way and to the same extent as any other contract. If the highest tier of a multi-tier agreement calls for arbitration, that part of the agreement should be enforced (or refused enforcement) in the same way as a single-tier arbitration agreement. Equally, if the highest tier calls for litigation, it should be treated like any other forum selection agreement. What makes enforcement of multi-tier agreements distinct is the potential for jurisdictional preconditions to arbitration or litigation. Attempts to enforce multi-tier agreements are made in one of two situations: to stay or enjoin litigation or arbitration commenced allegedly without completion of the lower tiers, or to enforce an arbitral award issued despite an objection that preconditions to arbitration were not met. Thus, when one speaks of enforcing a multi-tier agreement, in practice this normally means insisting, either before or after the fact, that an uncompleted lower tier of the agreement is mandatory. The decisive questions to be asked in any enforcement proceeding relating to a multi-tier agreement are: (1) whether the lower tiers of the agreement are jurisdictional preconditions to the upper tiers and, if so, (2) whether the requirements of the lower tiers were in fact satisfied to the extent required by the agreement. I address these questions in the following subsection, after which I describe the interaction between multi-tier agreements and two other sets of rules that affect enforceability of contracts: those dealing with contractual certainty or definiteness, and those dealing with limitation periods.
