S.(R.) v. Commonwealth of Kentucky, Cabinet for Health and Family Services
831. Interlocutory Appeal. Arbitration agreement not waived.
Wellcare Health Ins. of Kentucky, Inc. v. Trigg County Hospital
WellCare Health Insurance Company of Kentucky, Inc., has taken an interlocutory appeal from circuit court order denying its request to enforce an arbitration agreement between it and Trigg County Hospital, Inc. Because we agree that WellCare did not waive its right to invoke or enforce the arbitration agreement and that, accordingly, the circuit court erred as a matter of law in denying the motion to dismiss, we reverse.
832. Interpersonal Protective Order (IPO). Held the trial court’s findings of fact were clearly erroneous and application of law was flawed, we reverse.
