As per the case facts a dispute arose between an insurance company and another party with an arbitration agreement where the company claimed a discharge voucher barred arbitration The dispute ... was over the amount not responsibility The question arose whether a discharge voucher for final settlement precludes arbitration and if an arbitration agreement persists after the underlying contract is considered settled by mutual agreement Finally the Supreme Court affirmed the arbitrator's appointment stating that the accord and satisfaction plea does not negate the arbitration agreement's existence and can be resolved by the arbitrator as a preliminary matter confirming the arbitration agreement's survival
