of the arbitration agreement. For that purpose, an arbitration
clause that forms part of a contract shall be treated as an
agreement independent of the other terms of the contract. A

void shall not by itself mean that the contract's arbitration
clause is invalid.

jurisdiction shall be raised not later than the submission of the
statement of defense. A party is not precluded from raising the
plea by the fact that he or she has appointed or participated in the

is exceeding the scope of its authority shall be raised as soon as
the matter alleged to be beyond the scope of its authority is
raised during the arbitral proceedings. The arbitral tribunal may,

may request, within 30 days after having received notice
of that ruling, the court specified in Section 1-30 of this Act to decide the
matter, which decision is not subject to appeal; provided that this provision
shall not preclude the parties from raising any ground for setting aside or
refusing to recognize or enforce an arbitral award to the extent otherwise
permitted under applicable federal law. While
request is pending, the arbitral tribunal may continue the arbitral
