United States Fourth Circuit
Dan Ryan Builders, Inc. v. Nelson, 11-1215
In an action against a homebuilder seeking damages for certain alleged defects in the construction of a home, the Fourth Circuit certifies the following question to the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia: Does West Virginia law require that an arbitration provision, which appears as a single clause in a multi-clause contract, itself be supported by mutual consideration when the contract as a whole is supported by adequate consideration?
