Ex Parte Bancorpsouth Bank. (in Re Thomas L. Busby v. Bancorpsouth Bank)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama granted the Bank’s petition for a writ of mandamus, ordering the trial court to vacate its order denying the Bank’s motion to strike the jury demand and to grant that motion. The Court held that the jury‑trial waivers in the guaranty agreements are enforceable and that the waivers broadly apply to all of Busby’s claims, including his fraud allegations.
