Marketha Baker, et al. Missouri Cases

TitleMax of Missouri, Inc. appealed the circuit court's judgment overruling its motion to compel arbitration against several plaintiffs. TitleMax argued that valid arbitration agreements existed and that some agreements contained delegation clauses requiring an arbitrator to resolve arbitrability issues. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, holding that an American Arbitration Association (AAA) letter, which declined to administer claims between TitleMax and its consumers due to non-compliance with AAA policies, authorized the plaintiffs to submit their claims to the circuit court.
