Javitch Block LLC, et al. v. Khadija Smith
Paid petition · Court of Appeals of Ohio, Cuyahoga County, No. 111532 · judgment March 2, 2023
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Whether the Ohio Court of Appeals erred by denying enforcement of an arbitration agreement and class action waiver governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, premised on the absence of express authorization in the contract granting a nonsignatory agent enforcement rights, where state law recognizes that a nonsignatory agent may enforce the agreement and the agent is strategically sued for acts on behalf of the principal.
