CompFox AI Summary
Lucchese Boot Company appealed the denial of its motion to compel arbitration against former employee Arturo Licon. Licon had filed a non-subscriber negligence suit against Lucchese following work-related injuries. Initially, Lucchese sought arbitration under its Injury Benefit Plan, but this was deemed illusory in prior related cases. Lucchese then moved to compel arbitration under its Problem Resolution Program, which the trial court denied. This Court reversed the trial court's judgment, finding that a valid and enforceable arbitration agreement existed under the Problem Resolution Program that encompassed Licon's tort claims, and that Licon failed to establish valid defenses such as illusoriness, lack of meeting of the minds, or unconscionability. The case was remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
