“Eleventh Circuit Decision Underscores Importance of Complying with AAA Rules”

In this article published by Lexology, Lelia Ledain, of Covington & Burling, discusses the Eleventh Circuit’s recent decision in Merritt Island Woodwerx LLC et al. v. Space Coast Credit Union. The court affirmed the denial of a company’s motion to compel arbitration in a consumer dispute where the company had failed to timely submit its arbitration provisions for timely administrative review by the American Arbitration Association. The article appropriately urges review of the decision by “companies who rely on arbitration agreements that select the [AAA] consumer arbitration rules for dispute resolution.”
