A dispute between partners of a medical practice will not be sent to arbitration, the Pennsylvania Superior Court has ruled.
A three-judge panel consisting of Judges Anne Lazarus and Deborah Kunselman and Senior Judge James Colins affirmed a ruling from the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas denying the defendant's motion to compel arbitration.
The suit involves allegations from limited partners of Vascular Access Centers that the defendant practice and its owner and general partner Dr. James McGuckin (the general partners) breached the limited partnership agreement when McGuckin secretly named himself as the CEO of the practice and siphoned off “millions of dollars of VAC's profits without the limited partners' knowledge or approval,” according to Kunselman's opinion.
