Eric Anderton and Jackson Key Practice Solutions, LLC v. the Practice-Monroeville, P.c.

Summary

The court held that the parties opposing arbitration did not waive arbitration by litigating a separate Microsoft Word reimbursement claim, and that the incorporated arbitration rules clearly and unmistakably delegated the nonsignatory-arbitrability question to the arbitrator. It therefore reversed the denial of the motion to compel arbitration and remanded for further proceedings. Justice Shaw concurred in part and in the result, while Justice Murdock dissented from the delegation of the nonsignatory issue to the arbitrator.
