Civil Procedure – arbitration award

This case is an appeal from the circuit court’s confirmation of an arbitration award in favor of Superior Silica Sands, LLC, and against Minerals Development & Supply Company, Inc. The three-arbitrator panel had rejected Minerals’ claim that Superior fraudulently induced Minerals into a settlement agreement, and ordered Minerals to comply with the settlement agreement.

Minerals raises 15 issues. Those issues involve a wide range of topics, from the circuit court’s competency to confirm the award to the propriety of various arbitration and other expenses awarded to Superior. We resolve each issue against Minerals, and therefore affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
