Nicole Lampo v. Amedisys Holding, LLC

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court held that Nicole Lampo did not accept Amedisys’s offer to arbitrate because her silence and continued employment did not constitute a manifestation of assent, and therefore no arbitration agreement was formed. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded the case. It emphasized that arbitration agreements are bilateral contracts and that silence alone is insufficient acceptance absent clear indication that the offeree intends to be bound.
