Karibu Home Builders, LLC v. D. Michael Keenum and Pamela A. Keenum (Appeal from Colbert Circuit Court: CV-23-900266).

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama reversed the trial court's summary judgment granting the defendants, holding that the court retained subject‑matter jurisdiction despite the contract's mediation‑and‑arbitration clause and erred in disposing of the breach‑of‑contract action with prejudice; the case was remanded for the trial court to enforce the dispute‑resolution provisions, potentially by compelling mediation or arbitration.
