Cheryl McLemore Hearn, et al. v. Quince Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, LLC, et al.

This appeal concerns the enforceability of an arbitration agreement between a nursing home and one of its patients. The trial court found that the agreement was unenforceable because the nursing home’s agent gave an insufficient explanation of the agreement’s meaning to the patient’s daughter. We do not reach the merits of the trial court’s conclusion. Instead, we find that the patient’s daughter did not have the authority to sign the agreement on her father’s behalf. We, therefore, affirm the trial court’s denial of the defendant’s motion to compel arbitration.
