BONO v. DAVID
Where one party to a memorandum of understanding brought a motion to compel mediation and arbitration of the other party's defamation action pursuant to an arbitration provision in the agreement that required mediation and arbitration of "[a]ny controversy among the parties involving the construction or application of any provision" of the agreement, trial court properly denied the motion on the ground that the defamation suit was essentially "a stand alone action" that did not involve contractual interpretation.
