• Plaintiff Gilmer signed an agreement when he submitted his registration application to the New York Stock Exchange, which said the Plaintiff committed to arbitrate any disagreement with the defendant.
• Defendant Interstate then filed a request to compel arbitration, citing this agreement.
• According to Alexander v. Gardner-Denver Co., the district court rejected Defendant Interstate's request to compel arbitration and held that Congress did not intend to limit ADEA claimants' legal recourse.
