Description
Missouri Mining, Inc., a Missouri corporation with offices at Unionville, Missouri, in Putnam County, filed suit in the Putnam County Circuit Court against relator St. Joseph Light & Power Company for damages for breach of a contract for the sale and purchase of coal. St. Joseph Light & Power filed its ""motion to dismiss or in the alternative to compel arbitration"". The motion was based upon a provision in the contract which required arbitration of any disputes arising under the contract. The motion alleged in effect that Light & Power was invoking the arbitration provision, but that Missouri Mining had (wrongfully) withdrawn from the arbitration proceeding. The motion requested that the petition be dismissed or that plaintiff be ordered to proceed with arbitration. Respondent Judge Donelson after a hearing overruled the motion and directed Light & Power to file an answer to the merits within 30 days. He indicated an intention to proceed with the case upon the merits. At the relation of Light & Power, we issued our preliminary writ of prohibition.
