Supreme Court of New Jersey

Tahisha Roach v. Bm Motoring, Llc(077125)

March 9, 2017

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court held that BM Motoring’s failure to pay the arbitration filing and administrative fees required by the parties’ Dispute Resolution Agreement (DRA) was a material breach that bars the defendants from enforcing the arbitration provision, and it affirmed that the DRA permits arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s rules. The Court reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for further proceedings.
