Bugs "R" Us, LLC v. McCants

Bugs “R” Us, LLC (BRU) appealed the denial of its motion to compel arbitration in an action filed by Autumn McCants for negligent and/or wanton termite inspection of a house she purchased. After review, the Supreme Court concluded that BRU met its burden of establishing the existence of an arbitration contract between the parties. Furthermore, the arbitration provision dictated that the issues McCants raised about the applicability of the Federal Arbitration Act to this dispute, whether her claims were subsumed under the arbitration provision, and whether she was bound by the arbitration provision had to be submitted to an arbitrator for determination. Therefore, the trial court's order denying RU's motion to compel arbitration was reversed and the matter remanded for further proceedings. View "Bugs "R" Us, LLC v. McCants" on Justia Law
