UM--MINN. ST. 572.09 --ARBITRABILITY OF SCOPE OF THE ARBITRATION CLAUSE.
- Abstract
This article presents a review of the author's decision on the arbitalibility of scope of the arbitration clause. The issue of hit-and-run coverage under an uninsured motorist endorsement containing an arbitration clause is for the arbitrator. The court noted that over the years it (the Uniform Arbitration Act) has generally been applied to commercial disputes, such as labor-management, construction, franchising, and other types of business contracts. However, we find no court or commentator declaring that the act applies only to commercial disputes. Thus, at the outset we hold that the act as adopted and enacted by the legislature applies to a dispute involving an arbitration provision in an uninsured motorist endorsement of an automobile liability policy. The court rejected the defendant's contention that the uninsured motorist endorsement arbitration clause language whether the insured or such representative is legally entitled to recover such damages limited arbitration to the issues of negligence and amount of damages.
