Endre' Glenn v. Nordic Services, Inc.

This dispute between homeowner and contractor pertains to the replacement of damaged carpet when the water heater failed. Contractor retained a subcontractor to identify and procure the replacement carpet. Contractor and subcontractor coordinated the delivery and installation of the carpet. Dispute arose when contractor failed to bring sufficient personnel to install the carpet when the homeowner advised them of an impaired shoulder, and he would require them to move the furniture. Homeowner exasperated the injury by assisting contractor personnel to move the furniture when no one showed up for the job except one installer. Whether a contractor and subcontractor violated homeowner's rights to due process when they ignored subpoena duces tecum, and failed to comply with arbitrator's order; depriving the homeowner of material testimony, and a reasonable opportunity to prepare for the hearing? Whether King County Superior Court Judge violated due process for homeowner and equal protection of the laws by failing to order the contractor to follow Washington State public policy for initiating arbitration procedures?
