Great American Insurance Company v. Crystal Shores Owners Association, Inc. (Appeal from Baldwin Circuit Court…

Summary

The court dismissed Great American's appeal because the insurance policy's appraisal clause was not an arbitration clause under either federal or Alabama law. The appraisal procedure addressed only valuation and did not provide for adjudication of coverage, liability, or the entire dispute, so the circuit court's order was not immediately appealable under Rule 4(d).
