Before LUM, C.J., and NAKAMURA, PADGETT, HAYASHI and WAKATSUKI, JJ.


NAKAMURA, Justice.

Swinerton & Walberg Co. (Swinerton) appeals from an order denying its Motion to Stay Proceedings Pending Arbitration and For Order Compelling Arbitration of the claims brought against it by the Association of Owners of Kukui Plaza (the Association). Though the order did not conclude the dispute between the parties, it was nevertheless a final, appealable order. And we think the circuit court erred in not compelling arbitration.
