Park Plus v. Palisades of Towson, LLC
Annotate this Case
The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the court of special appeals affirming the decision of the circuit court ordering the parties to arbitrate their dispute, holding that the lower courts did not err.
The arbitration agreement at issue in this case did not specify an arbitration service. When Respondent refused to cooperate to start the arbitration proceedings, Petitioner petitioned to compel arbitration. The circuit court ordered the parties to arbitrate their dispute, thus denying Respondent's argument that the petition was barred by the statute of limitations. The court of special appeals affirmed. The Court of Appeals affirmed, holding (1) when the contract is silent on the issue, a petition to compel arbitration under Md. Code Cts. & Jud. Proc. (CJ) 3-207 is not subject to a defense under CJ 5-101; (2) the court of special appeals did not err in applying Gannett Fleming in affirming the circuit court; and (3) a petition to compel arbitration under CJ 3-207 is not subject to the limitations period set forth in CJ 5-101.
