AG Sources
Court granted defendant’s motion to compel arbitration and stayed the case pending arbitration. Court held that plaintiff accepted the offer to arbitrate by failing to opt out in a timely fashion and that the agreement was supported by valid consideration in the form of mutual promises to arbitrate claims. Court also noted that, although plaintiff did not explicitly assert one, it would also reject any legal argument based on the prominence (or alleged lack thereof) of the terms of the arbitration agreement. – Lee v. Burlington Coat Factory of Missouri, LLC (2018)
