Mississippi Supreme Court

MS Credit Center, Inc. v. Horton

February 23, 2006926 So. 2d 167

Summary

The court held that the arbitration agreement covered Horton's claims and was neither procedurally nor substantively unconscionable. Nevertheless, the defendants waived their right to compel arbitration by waiting eight months to pursue it while actively participating in the litigation. The court therefore affirmed denial of the motion to compel arbitration while reversing the trial court's unconscionability finding.
