(plaintiff, a farm company, and defendant, a cooperative, entered into 10 contracts for the sale of grain; each contract contained a provision requiring dispute resolution through arbitration by defendant, the National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA); when a dispute arose regarding the contracts, the cooperative obtained a default judgment in the amount of $2.5 million against the plaintiff through arbitration; the plaintiff filed a motion to set aside the judgment with the NGFA and signed three arbitration service contracts to reopen the dispute; the NGFA reopened the arbitration and it was pending when plaintiff filed its complaint against defendants asking the trial court to stop arbitration, arguing that the NGFA did not have jurisdiction to arbitrate the dispute; the trial court dismissed the action and the appellate court affirmed, also allowing NGFA’s motion for sanctions against the plaintiff; the court found that the plaintiff agreed to arbitrate any disputes arising under the contracts and that its action against the NGFA was frivolous since the NGFA was immune from suit).
