In this breach of contract action, Appellant KOL, Inc. (Dealer) seeks review of the circuit court's order denying its motion to compel arbitration. Dealer argues the circuit court erred by declining to compel arbitration on the ground that Dealer's execution of certain contracts with Respondent Casey Masters (Purchaser) after Purchaser filed this action rendered the parties' April 10, 2017 arbitration agreement moot and unenforceable. We reverse and remand for an order compelling arbitration.
The plaintiff, Mauro Poletti, appealed from a December 21, 2018 Providence County Superior Court judgment in favor of the defendant, Gonsalves-Pastore Realty, LLC, d/b/a Century 21 (Gonsalves-Pastore), pursuant to a grant of Gonsalves-Pastore's motion for summary judgment. On appeal, the plaintiff contended that the hearing justice erred in determining that no genuine issue of material fact existed as to whether Gonsalves-Pastore owed plaintiff a duty based on a fiduciary relationship or as an employer of the person who allegedly committed the wrongful acts. The Supreme Court held that the hearing justice properly granted summary judgment in favor of Gonsalves-Pastore on the basis that no genuine issue of material fact existed as to whether or not Gonsalves-Pastore owed plaintiff a duty. Specifically, the Court held that the evidence in the record did not support the existence of a fiduciary relationship between the parties because there was no agreement for Gonsalves-Pastore to carry out plaintiff's investment plan, and their relationship did not go beyond an ordinary business relationship. The Court also held that Gonsalves-Pastore was not liable as an employer because, even assuming that the alleged wrongful actor were an employee, her acts of malfeasance were outside the scope of any such employment. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the judgment of the Superior Court.

The petitioner, Philip L. Thompson, Jr., petitioned the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari to review a December 4, 2017 final decree of the Appellate Division of the Workers' Compensation Court which had the effect of denying him workers' compensation benefits for his neck injury. The Supreme Court granted Mr. Thompson's petition on February 26, 2019 and issued a writ of certiorari. Mr. Thompson argued before the Court that the Appellate Division erred in affirming the trial judge because the trial judge committed reversible error by: (1) stating that Dr. Thomas Rocco was not qualified to opine on an orthopedic issue due to the fact that he was a board certified general surgeon, not a board certified orthopedic surgeon and (2) finding Dr. Rocco's testimony to be inconsistent. The Supreme Court held that, although the trial judge was in error in stating that Dr. Rocco was not qualified, the Appellate Division clearly considered Dr. Rocco's testimony and weighed it in the course of reviewing the decision of the trial judge. The Court further held that legally competent evidence existed to support the determination of the Appellate Division that the trial judge did not err in finding Dr. Rocco's testimony to be inconsistent. Accordingly, the Supreme Court affirmed the final decree of the Appellate Division.
TCSC, LLC, d/b/a Hendrick Toyota of North Charleston (Hendrick) appeals the circuit court's denial of its motion to stay Jane Doe's lawsuit against Hendrick and compel arbitration of her tort claims. We hold the parties' Arbitration Agreement did not clearly and unmistakably delegate the issue of whether the Agreement was valid and enforceable to the arbitrator. We further find a portion of the Agreement invalid as unconscionable. We conclude, though, that because the Agreement did delegate the interpretation and scope of the Agreement to the arbitrator, the motion to compel is remanded to the trial court with instructions to grant the motion so the arbitrator may determine whether the revised Agreement covers Doe's claims.
