6040 – Melissa Dixon v. Weekley Homes, LLC
This case arises out of Melissa and Willard Dixon’s lawsuit alleging the home they purchased from Lansing and Stephanie Pattee (the Pattees) was defective. Weekley Homes, LLC constructed the home. Weekley appeals the circuit court’s denial of its motion to compel arbitration. It contends the Pattees’ purchase agreement with it (the Agreement) involved interstate commerce, which the Agreement explicitly stated, and provided the Federal Arbitration Act would apply. We reverse.
