Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

MBC Development, LP, Aplts. v. Miller, J.

May 31, 2024

Summary

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania held that the Pennsylvania Uniform Limited Partnership Act of 2016 (PULPA) unambiguously requires court review of a special litigation committee’s (SLC) determination, and that a partnership’s mandatory arbitration clause cannot override this statutory mandate. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Superior Court’s order vacating the trial court’s stay of arbitration and remanded for proceedings consistent with court‑review of the SLC determination.
