The contract between the parties provided for arbitration to resolve any dispute arising between them except for actions seeking injunctive relief. Schein, therefore, requested the District Court to refer the matter to arbitration while Archer argued that this matter was not subject to arbitration owing to injunctive relief. The Fifth Circuit affirmed with Archer\u2019s view. However, the Supreme Court vacated the judgment of the Fifth Circuit and held that parties to such a contract may refer to an arbitrator to decide the \u2018gateway questions of arbitrability.\u2019 The Court opined that a court cannot override the contract even if it thinks that the arbitrability claim is \u2018wholly groundless.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The case was remanded for further proceedings.[Henry Schein Inc. v.
