Blue Water Bay At Center Hill, LLC v. Larry J. Hasty

Syllabus

This appeal follows the trial court's confirmation of an arbitration award. There are four participating parties on appeal, the Appellant and three separate Appellees. With respect to the claims asserted by Appellee Blue Water Bay against the Appellant, we hereby vacate the trial court's orders and remand for further proceedings because the trial court erred in not allowing the Appellant pre-arbitration discovery regarding issues pertaining to arbitrability. With respect to the claims involving the other two Appellees, we reverse the trial court's orders due to the absence of a sufficient basis to establish arbitrability.
