Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Arbitration Clause
Plaintiff filed a class action lawsuit against the defendant alleging fraud, breach of contract, and civil conspiracy. The trial court denied the defendant’s motion to dismiss and to compel arbitration and defendant appealed. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the arbitration agreements contained irreconcilable conflicts regarding integral provisions on the proper forum, who decides arbitrability, and the parties’ responsibilities for arbitration fees. (C.A. WALKER and PUCINSKI, concurring)
