Arbitration Provision • Agency Relationship • Estoppel

Clementson v. Evangelical Manor, PICS Case No. 17-0558 (C.P. Philadelphia Apr. 3, 2017) Cohen, J. (9 pages).

A nursing home resident never authorized her daughter to sign documents or otherwise act on her behalf, so the court refused to enforce an arbitration provision contained in an agreement which was signed by the daughter but never approved by the mother.
