U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 20-1779
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Arnold, Circuit
Judge]
Civil case - Arbitration. Defendant HomeServices waived its right to
arbitrate the dispute by litigating the case in federal court for nearly a
year before asserting the right to arbitration; it is up to the court, and
not the arbitrator, to determine whether a party has substantially invoked
the litigation machinery.
