The proliferation of arbitration agreements in consumer and business contracts presents challenges when a dispute, governed by an arbitration agreement, also involves claims against or advanced by a third party, who is not party to that arbitration agreement. Indeed, the Federal Arbitration Act enforces an arbitration agreement notwithstanding the presence of others who are parties to the underlying dispute but not the arbitration agreement. New Jersey's public policy applies similar tenets when reviewing matters governed by its Arbitration Act, noting N.J.S.A. 2A:23B-6, provides an agreement to arbitrate is "valid, enforceable, and irrevocable except upon a ground that exists at law or in equity for the revocation of a contract."
