A nursing home sued for wrongful death could not enforce a limitation of remedies clause in its admissions contract that required arbitration and precluded punitive damages, the Florida Supreme Court has ruled in reversing judgment.
The plaintiff's uncle died while living in a nursing home operated by the defendant. When the plaintiff filed a wrongful death suit alleging negligence, the defendant moved to compel arbitration pursuant to a limitation of remedies provision in its admissions contract. The provision called for the arbitration of disputes in accordance with the American Health Lawyers Association (AHLA) rules. In addition, the provision barred arbitrators from awarding punitive damages.

In Dockser v Schwartzenberg, the 4th Circuit held that the number of arbitrators is a matter of arbitration procedure, which is presumed to be for resolution by an arbitrator, not a court. The parties' 20-year relationship as real estate partners ended with a settlement agreement providing for arbitration under American Arbitration Association rules in the event of a breach. The court rejected the novel argument that arbitrating the number of arbitrators would create an "absurd chicken and egg problem." The court noted that many procedural questions exhibit a "supposed bootstrapping problem." Furthermore, accepting that argument would nullify the rule that these questions are arbitrable.
