1DissentColeman, Justice

¶ 22. Applying the two-pronged inquiry for determining whether arbitration should be enforced, under the Court’s policy favoring arbitration, I would hold that the arbitration provisions in both contracts are valid and enforceable. Therefore, I respectfully dissent.

¶ 23. The Court of Appeals held that the more extensive arbitration provision in the newer contract was sufficient and that arbitration should be enforced as to the twenty-four plaintiffs who signed that contract. Caplin Enters., Inc. v. Arrington, 2011-CA-01832-COA, 145 So.3d 675, 685-87, 2013 WL 1878879, **9-10 (¶¶ 41-42)…
