Holm-Sutherland Co., Inc. v. Town of Shelby
Montana Supreme Court
Decided June 30, 1999No. 98-309PublishedCited by 19 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Nelson
¶1 The Town of Shelby appeals from an order of the Ninth Judicial District Court, Toole County, compelling arbitration of this contract dispute. We affirm in part and reverse and remand in part.
¶2 We address the following issues:
1. Did the District Court err in ruling that Montana municipalities have authority to contractually agree to binding arbitration as a forum or means for resolving claims arising out of a contract?
2. Did the court err in requiring Safeco Insurance Company to ratify the actions of Holm-Sutherland Co., Inc. rather than substituting Safeco as the real party in interest?
