Waiver of Right to Arbitration Through Litigation Conduct
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAA party appealed a ruling affirming the denial of their motion to compel arbitration, arguing that the opposing party had waived their right to arbitrate by actively participating in litigation, including filing motions and engaging in extensive discovery over a significant period without asserting the arbitration clause. The court affirmed the denial, reasoning that the lower court did not abuse its discretion by finding that the appealing party's extensive and deliberate participation in litigation constituted a clear waiver of the right to arbitrate, as this conduct was inconsistent with an intent to rely on the arbitration agreement and prejudiced the opposing party.
