Jay Ramsey with Sheppard Mullin Richter & Hampton LLP summarizes a May 11, 2015 opinion by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. That court reversed an order denying a motion to compel arbitration in a Telephone Consumer Protection Act class action suit. The Seventh Circuit held that the agreement was broad enough to apply to conduct that occurred after the termination of the agreement. According to Ramsey, “Sprint argued, and the Seventh Circuit agreed, that arbitration clauses still apply to conduct occurring after termination of an agreement so long as the conduct had its ‘genesis’ in the agreement. In this case, the Seventh Circuit found an ‘intimate relation’ between Sprint’s phone callas and the parties’ agreement.”
