Juan Mendez, Jr. v. Hampton Court Nursing Center, LLC, Respondent — Canady, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Canady, dissenting, would not quash the decision under review because the petitioner failed to present an argument establishing that the common-law third-party-beneficiary doctrine was unavailable. He reasoned that the statutory requirements for nursing-home contracts did not expressly or impliedly displace otherwise available common-law remedies. Justice Polston, dissenting separately, would likewise enforce the arbitration agreement against the son who signed the contract as the resident's representative and rejected the majority's manifest-injustice approach.
