A-B moved to compel arbitration, arguing that its Dispute Resolution Program (DRP), including a delegation provision, required an arbitrator to decide the enforceability of the arbitration agreement. The trial court denied the motion, finding A-B failed to show Esser accepted the DRP or its delegation provision. The appellate court affirmed, holding that Esser sufficiently challenged the delegation provision and A-B failed to provide clear and unmistakable evidence of acceptance or sufficient consideration for the delegation provision.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","contracts","employment-law","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=132676","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/john-esser-respondent-v-anheuser-busch-llc-appellant-106504","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: employment","topic: employment-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts","text: llc"],"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: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
