Contracts: Arbitration-Contractual Intent
Staff Report//April 22, 2019
Where city defendants sued a professional football team, team owners and the league in an action arising from the team’s relocation, and the defendants moved to compel arbitration, a American Arbitration Association rule from 2003 did not provide clear and unmistakable evidence of the parties contractual intent in 1995 for an arbitrator to have exclusive jurisdiction to decide arbitrability, and the judgment is affirmed because there was no arbitration agreement applicable to the relevant claims.
Judgment is affirmed.
