Henry Schein, Inc. v. Archer & White Sales, Inc., 586 U.S. ___, was a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States on the question of whether an arbitrator has the authority to decide if a case is subject to arbitration when the argument for arbitration is "wholly groundless."[1] The case was decided unanimously (9-0) for defendant Archer & White Sales, Inc. on January 8, 2019.[1] Justice Brett Kavanaugh delivered the opinion of the Court, holding that the "wholly groundless" exception to arbitrability is inconsistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, and therefore an arbitrator may decide whether a case is subject to arbitration even if a court believes the argument for arbitration to be "wholly groundless."[1]
