tive dissent in Vega v. San Carlos Milling Co., this Court has
recognized arbitration agreements as valid, binding, enforceable
and not contrary to public policy so much so that when there
obtains a written provision for arbitration which is not complied
with, the trial court should suspend the proceedings and order
the parties to proceed to arbitration in accordance with the terms
of their agreement. Arbitration is the „wave of the future‰ in
dispute resolution. To brush aside a contractual agreement
calling for arbitration in case of disagreement between parties
would be a step backward.
Same; Same; As a contract, the Agreement containing the
stipulation on arbitration, binds the parties thereto, as well as
their assigns and heirs.·A submission to arbitration is a
contract. As such, the Agreement, containing the stipulation on
arbitration, binds the parties thereto, as well as their assigns
and heirs. But only they. Petitioners, as heirs of Salas, Jr., and
respondent Laperal Realty are certainly bound by the
Agreement. If respondent Laperal Realty had assigned its rights
under the Agreement to a third party, making the former, the
assignor, and the latter, the assignee, such assignee would also
be bound by the arbitration provision since assignment involves
such transfer of rights as to vest in the assignee the power to
enforce them to the same extent as the assignor could have
enforced them against the debtor or in this case, against the
heirs of the original party to the Agreement.
