   OPINION

KRAUSE, Circuit Judge.

The Microbilt Corporation (“Microbilt”) filed an adversary complaint in Bankruptcy Court against Chex Systems, Inc. (“Chex”), Gunster, Yoakley, & Stewart, P.A., and David Wells (collectively, “Gun-ster”), asserting claims for tortious interference and for violation of the Florida Uniform Trade Secrets Act (“FUTSA”). The Bankruptcy Court granted Chex’s mo-' tion compelling arbitration on most of the counts and granted Gunster’s motion for summary judgment on those that remained. The District Court affirmed, and Microbilt now raises two issues on appeal.

First, Microbilt argues that the District and Bankruptcy Courts erred in holding that Florida’s absolute litigation privilege applies to the disclosure of trade secrets allegedly in violation of FUTSA, or, in the alternative, that we should certify this question to the Florida Supreme Court pursuant to 3d Cir. LAR 110.1. Florida’s litigation privilege provides legal immunity for “any [tortious] act occurring during the course of a judicial proceeding ... so long as the act has some relation to the proceeding,” regardless of the nature of the underlying dispute.

Microbilt relies on several recent eases carving out exceptions from the privilege for certain acts that occur before, after, or outside of a judicial proceeding, but these exceptions have no relevance to the present case. Here, Gunster attached copies of a Microbilt subsidiary’s invoices to customers as an exhibit to a complaint filed for breach of contract in the Middle District of Florida, allegedly disclosing Micro-bilt’s trade secrets in violation of FUTSA. It is well-settled under Florida law that the absolute litigation privilege applies to statements in pleadings filed with the court. We reject the contention that decisions from other states applying foreign law are relevant here. For these reasons, we agree with the District and Bankruptcy Courts that Gunster’s conduct was privileged and that any amendment to the complaint would be futile. We also decline to certify a settled question of law to the Florida Supreme Court.

Second, Microbilt argues that the District and Bankruptcy Courts erred in dismissing and referring to arbitration its claims for tortious interference with contract and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage. If a valid arbitration clause exists and the dispute falls within the substantive scope of that clause, we must compel the parties to arbitrate the dispute. The Resale Agreement between Chex and Microbilt contemplates that “[a]ny dispute, difference, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by binding arbitration ....” Microbilt alleged that Chex committed tortious interference by disclosing information defined under the terms of the Resale Agreement as “confidential” to Gunster and the general public. Though nominally framed as tort claims, these claims relate to the parties’ obligations under their contract, and as such, they are arbitrable under the broad scope of the arbitration clause in the Resale Agreement.

For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the District Court’s decision upholding the decision of the Bankruptcy Court. 
      
       This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not constitute binding precedent.
