What if there is a signed arbitration agreement but one side decides it does not want to arbitrate?

Courts enforce agreements to arbitrate. If people sign an agreement providing for arbitration, one side cannot later decide it would rather litigate. Unless both sides agree that they do not want to arbitrate, a court will enforce the arbitration agreement by compelling the unwilling party to arbitrate and precluding the party from continuing court litigation.
