1Opinion of the Court
McAULIFFE, Judge.
In 1984, the Town of Chesapeake Beach (the Town) entered into a construction contract with Pessoa Construction Company, Inc. (Pessoa). On 2 January 1986, before construction was completed, the Town declared Pessoa in default and terminated its right to continue work. On 19 May 1989, Pessoa filed a demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association. The Town promptly filed a petition in the Circuit Court for Calvert County to stay or enjoin arbitration, on the ground that Pessoa waived or lost its right to arbitration by its failure to file a timely demand.
