A Florida state lower court refused to enforce an arbitration clause in a nursing home agreement because the clause provided for arbitration before the National Arbitration Forum (NAF), and the NAF had ceased handling consumer arbitrations. However, a Florida appellate recently reversed the lower court’s denial of the nursing home’s motion to compel arbitration because section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act provides for the court appointment of arbitrators.
