Defendants moved to compel arbitration, which the trial court denied, finding the arbitration agreement lacked consideration and was not signed by all parties. The appellate court affirmed the denial of arbitration as to Defendant Hale, but reversed the denial as to Defendant AutoCenters. The court held that the arbitration agreement was supported by consideration from the contemporaneously signed installment contract and was enforceable against AutoCenters despite its lack of signature on the arbitration agreement itself. The case was remanded for further proceedings consistent with the opinion.","primaryTopic":"contracts","topicSlugs":["contracts","civil-procedure","appellate-procedure","summary-judgment"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=221140","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/ashley-dill-respondent-v-jason-hale-and-autocenters-bonne-terre-llc-appel-113090","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: corporate","topic: contracts","text: llc","text: contract"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: summary-judgment","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
