The plaintiffs had attempted to initiate arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (AAA), but the AAA declined to administer their claims due to TitleMax's non-compliance with its consumer rules. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, holding that AAA Rule R-1(d) authorized the plaintiffs to submit their disputes to the circuit court after the AAA declined to administer the arbitrations.","primaryTopic":"civil-procedure","topicSlugs":["civil-procedure","contracts","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=203680","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/kimberly-abram-et-al-respondents-v-titlemax-of-missouri-inc-appellant-110631","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"insurance-bad-faith","label":"Insurance Bad Faith","href":"/practice-areas/insurance-bad-faith","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: insurance"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/insurance-bad-faith"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts"],"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"}]}
