Defendants Wunderlich Securities, Inc. and Albert M. Alexander, Jr. filed a motion to compel arbitration and stay proceedings, claiming a binding arbitration agreement was in place. The Trial Court granted the motion on February 12, 2013. Plaintiff sought an interlocutory appeal, which was granted by the Trial Court and later by the appellate court. The appeal focuses on whether the trustee's agreement to arbitration binds the Minor beneficiary. Wunderlich and Alexander challenge the court's jurisdiction, but the court maintains it has jurisdiction under Tenn. R. App. P. 9. Other issues raised by the defendants were not certified for this appeal.
