MANKIN MEDIA SYSTEMS, INC. v. TIMOTHY CORDER

Posted by: Karen Belcher on Jun 30, 2022

Court: TN Court of Appeals

Attorneys 1: J. Cole Dowsley, Jr. and Sarah M. Ferraro, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Mankin Media Systems, Inc.

Attorneys 2: James W. Cobb, Abigail M. Mabry, and Taylor M. Davidson, Hendersonville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Timothy Corder.

Judge(s): ARMSTRONG

Appellant appeals the trial court’s order affirming the award of an arbitrator. Appellant filed suit against its former employee, the Appellee, alleging breach of contract for violation of certain provisions of the employee handbook, which also contained an arbitration clause. Because the handbook does not constitute an enforceable employment contract, the trial court erred in ordering the parties to arbitrate and in affirming the arbitrator’s award. Reversed and remanded.
