JCAP argued it had standing to enforce an arbitration agreement through a series of assignments from the original debt holder, DriveTime. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's decision, finding that JCAP failed to provide competent evidence to establish a valid chain of assignment of arbitration rights. The court also denied Rice's motion for damages for a frivolous appeal, concluding that JCAP's amended motion was permissible on general remand.","primaryTopic":"contracts","topicSlugs":["contracts","civil-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","summary-judgment"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=210300","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/jefferson-capital-systems-llc-respondent-v-stephanie-rice-appellant-112211","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"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: summary-judgment","topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
