  1. Kentucky Supreme Court Reinforces Importance of Properly Incorporated Arbitration Provisions to Larger Agreements

    Wilson Elser LLPEdward O'BrienJune 22, 2015

    First, the Court held that the arbitration agreement had to be signed by the students to be valid under the Statute of Frauds. The Court applied KRS 446.060, which provides that when required by law, such as the Statute of Frauds, writings are not deemed to be signed unless the signature is subscribed at the end or close of the writing. As the signature block appeared toward the bottom of the front page of the admissions agreement, and because the arbitration provision appeared on the back of the agreement, the arbitration provision was not deemed signed.
