Car Credit, Inc. v. Cathy L. Pitts

Summary

The Missouri Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court’s order confirming the arbitration award, holding that the delegation clause in the parties’ arbitration agreement is valid and enforceable, and that the agreement does not limit arbitration to the National Arbitration Forum, allowing a substitute arbitrator under FAA §5. The court reasoned that Pitts failed to specifically challenge the delegation clause, so it must be applied, and the award stands.
