  • Represented VyStar Credit Union in a class action pending in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida in which VyStar filed a motion to compel arbitration but rather than rule on the motion based on the parties’ briefs, the district court ordered a bench trial on the limited issue of whether the arbitration provision was properly implemented.
