Addie Smith v. Syhadley, LLC

The trial court, WA State Court of Appeals, and WA State Supreme Court have attempted to invalidate the parties’ arbitration agreement with state law, in whole, even though both parties agreed to arbitrate our disputes. King County Board of Health Chairman, Joe McDermott, declared racism a public health crisis. In a statement, King County Executive Dow Constantine committed the County and its public health authority to implementing a racially equitable response to racism, centering on community. He went on to acknowledge the County’s past and present complicity “in maintaining and perpetuating structural racism,” and said that “as an institution we must be a vital player in dismantling oppressive systems that are grounded in White supremacy.” “Washington State Court of Appeals, Washington State Supreme Court and the King County Superior Court have refused to rule on the Petitioner’s Motion to Compel Arbitration. Congress adopted the [Federal] Arbitration Act in 1925” because “courts were unduly hostile to arbitration.” Epic Svs. Corp. v. Lewis. 138 S. Ct. 1612, 1621 (2018). 2 | Page
