Supreme Court of Missouri / Mar 4, 2025
Presley Karlin, Respondent, vs. UATP Springfield, LLC d/b/a Urban Air Springfield, Appellant.
Presley Karlin sued Urban Air Springfield for negligence after sustaining injuries at its trampoline park. Urban Air moved to compel arbitration based on an agreement signed by Karlin's mother, which the circuit court overruled. The Missouri Supreme Court vacated the circuit court's order and remanded the case with instructions to sustain Urban Air's motion to compel arbitration. The Court held that challenges to the validity or scope of an arbitration agreement, when it contains a delegation clause and the challenges are not specific to that clause, must be resolved by an arbitrator.
