Issues


In a case where an individual sought to sue a credit card issuer in connection with errors made in the reporting of credit card accounts to cer- tain credit bureaus, was the case subject to arbitration where there was an arbitration agree- ment in the credit agreement and whether that arbitration agreement was unconscionable?


In a case brought by a basket ball scout and agent against a scouting agency in connection with the representation of professional basket- ball player Kenneth Thomas, did the Circuit Court err in denying a petition to compel arbi- tration where it is alleged that involvement in prior litigation rather than resorting to arbitra- tion amounts to a waiver of the right to compel arbitration?

Judge Spellbring/ County


Whether an 1881 Circuit Court adjudicating the interest in the use of a road in favor of a successor in interest effectively establishes a right- of-way in favor of the appellants to use the road where the appellants own land bordering on said road, which is built on private property.
