Bugs "r" US, LLC v. Autumn Willard McCants

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the trial court and remanded, holding that Bugs “R” Us, LLC satisfied its burden of proving an enforceable arbitration agreement and that issues of arbitrability are delegated to the arbitrator under the contract’s incorporation of the AAA Commercial Rules. Justice Murdock dissented, arguing the delegation language is not clear and unmistakable and that the trial court should decide arbitrability.
