Young v. Bank of Sweetwater

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• finding that an appraisal results in a “binding factual determination” as to the amount of loss
• observing that, “while appraisal could ‘give figures for the value of the property,’ it would resolve only ‘a part of the overall dispute’ between the parties; it would not resolve other issues, like whether the policy provided coverage for complete replacement of a particular roof””
• unlike arbitration, appraisal “establishes only the amount of a loss,” and not other issues including liability and coverage (quoting Minot Town & Country v. Fireman’s Fund Ins. Co., 587 N.W.2d 189, 190 (N.D. 1998))
• “[T]he appraisal process set forth in the policy is not an arbitration under the CUAA.”
