Great American Insurance Company v. Crystal Shores Owners Association, Inc.
Paid petition · Supreme Court of Alabama, No. SC-2023-0092 · judgment December 22, 2023
Before the decision, about 1.9× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a circuit split argued in the petition, a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and a business petitioner, and down for a business respondent.
Question presented
I. Does federal law or state law govern what qualifies as an “arbitration” provision under the Federal Arbitration Act? II. Does a contract’s dispute resolution provision requiring parties to submit property loss valuation disputes to an independent appraisal panel for binding resolution qualify as “arbitration” under the FAA?
