Digital Forensics Corporation, LLC v. King Machine, Inc., and Hartford Fire Insurance Company, as subrogee of Micron…

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the circuit court's denial of Digital Forensics Corp.'s motion to compel arbitration, holding that the plaintiffs' fraud‑in‑the‑inducement claim does not bar arbitration because it is not directed at the arbitration clause itself, and that DFC did not waive arbitration by removing the case to federal court. The court remanded for further proceedings consistent with this ruling.
