GREENBRIAR OCEANAIRE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, INC. VS. U.S. HOME CORPORATION, ET AL. A-2653-16T1


 GREENBRIAR OCEANAIRE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, INC. VS. 
U.S. HOME CORPORATION, ET AL. 
A-2653-16T1 

Plaintiff homeowners association filed a complaint against the defendant developer alleging various claims on its own behalf and on behalf of the homeowners. The homeowners had agreed when purchasing their properties from the developer to arbitrate any disputes; the association had entered into no such agreement with the developer. The trial court granted the developer's motion to compel arbitration of all the disputes, and the association appealed. The court remanded with a direction that plaintiff file an amended complaint that separated the claims the association brought on its own behalf from those it brought on behalf of the homeowners so the trial court might better ascertain which claims were subject to the arbitration agreement and which were not.
