Agreement To Arbitrate Enforceable, Even Though It Does Not Specify Procedures For The Selection Of The Arbitrator Or The Arbitral Process

In McCoy v. The Buccaneer, Inc., a U.S. District Court rejected an employee’s challenge to the arbitration of claims against his former employer. The court found enforceable a contract provision that specified arbitration even though the agreement failed to describe the arbitration process, how the arbitrators are to be selected or the forum for arbitration.
