Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit April 26, 1990, 89-2041 (Hartford Lloyd's Insurance Company, Cross-Appellee v. Walter J. Teachworth D/B/A the Seasons Apartments, Cross-Appellant)

EDITH H. JONES, Circuit Judge:

The focal issue in this appeal is whether an insurance appraisal conducted pursuant to the terms of a Texas multi-peril insurance policy constitutes an “arbitration” within the coverage of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-15 (the “FAA”).
