Tennessee Health Management, Inc. v. Carol J. Rousseau Johnson, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Dolores…

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s denial of Tennessee Health Management’s motion to compel arbitration, holding that the arbitration agreement signed by the resident’s daughter was valid and enforceable. The Court found the daughter had apparent authority to bind the resident and that the agreement satisfied the interstate‑commerce requirement. The case was remanded for further proceedings consistent with the opinion.
