Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Mar 26, 2021
BRANDON KEELING, Respondent vs. PREFERRED POULTRY SUPPLY, LLC, Appellant
Brandon Keeling sued Preferred Poultry Supply, LLC (PPS) for breach of contract and misrepresentation related to a construction project. The trial court denied PPS's motion to compel arbitration. The appellate court reversed, holding that the order denying arbitration was immediately appealable and that the Federal Arbitration Act applied, compelling arbitration for all claims. The court found the arbitration agreement valid and enforceable, rejecting Keeling's argument regarding lack of mutuality.
