Yates Paving & Grading Co. v. Bryan County
Court of Appeals of Georgia
Decided September 1, 2005No. A05A1246PublishedCited by 3 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
MlKELL, Judge.
Yates Paving & Grading Company, Inc., appeals from a trial court’s order granting summary judgment to Bryan County on the res judicata effect of a previous arbitration and enjoining Yates from conducting any additional arbitration proceedings in connection with claims Yates presented in a previous arbitration. Because the res judicata effect of the first arbitration award falls within the scope of the parties’ agreement to arbitrate, the arbitrator should decide this issue, not the trial court. Therefore, we reverse.
This is the third appearance of these parties before this…
