(September 17, 2020, 3:46 PM EDT) -- LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — An Arkansas appellate panel on Sept. 16 reversed a ruling denying a motion to compel arbitration of a nursing home negligence case, finding that the trial court erred in denying the motion without expressly ruling on "the threshold issues of whether there was a valid agreement to arbitrate and, if so, whether the dispute fell within the scope of that agreement" (JS Arkansas Five Healthcare, LLC, et al. v. Amy Gilbreath, No. CV-18-995, Ark. App., Div. 2, 2020 Ark. App. LEXIS 449)....
