Fru-Con Constr. Co. v. Southwestern Redevelopment Corp. II,
1995 Mo. App. LEXIS 1443 (Mo. Ct. App. Aug. 15, 1995)
Arbitration Claims Limit – The Contractor submitted a $20 million claim and then commenced lawsuit against the Owner. After nearly two years of litigation, the Owner requested the architect to evaluate claim and the architect determined that the claim was actually a group of small claims, all of which (except one) were less that $200,000 and, therefore, subject to arbitration provision in contract.
