ALTERNATIVE DIsPuTE RESOLUTION Alternative dispute resolution involves an alternate form of adjudicating cases. Parties may choose to settle a dispute through arbitration instead of through the court system. These cases arose over contract disputes, in which the contracts involved an arbitration clause. If a party brings a dispute to court when the contract contains an arbitration clause, the opposing party may file a motion to compel arbitration. Other arbitration disputes stem from unfair arbitration decisions. St. Louis Reg 'l Convention & Sports Complex Auth. v. NFL' The Plaintiffs sued the Rams, NFL, and the Rams' owner as third-party beneficiaries of the league's policy on relocation following the team's move to Los Angeles, California, in 2016. The Defendants moved to compel arbitration, arguing that the team's lease compelled mandatory arbitration and the Plaintiffs' claims concerned issues within the lease. The court here rules that the parties had not in fact entered into an arbitration agreement. 1. No. ED106282, 2018 Mo. App. LEXIS 929 (Mo. Ct. App. Aug. 21, 2018).
