When Quincey was 16 years old, she was employed at Hy-Vee as a cashier. After her training, she was required to read Hy-Vee’s online employee agreement which included an agreement to submit all employment disputes to arbitration instead of pursuing a lawsuit in court and she was required to click a box saying she acknowledged and accepted the arbitration agreement or click another button to opt out. Quincey clicked the acknowledgment button and did not opt out. One month after Quincey’s 18th birthday, she joined a pending lawsuit against Hy-Vee for failure to provide accurate written wage statements as required by Missouri law. Hy-Vee filed a motion to compel arbitration consistent with the agreement that Quincey electronically signed which, if successful, would mean that the lawsuit could no longer proceed in court and would have to be pursued through private arbitration. Quincey contended that there was never any valid arbitration agreement in the first instance because she was a minor when she acknowledge the agreement, or, in the alternative, because she was a minor when she acknowledge the agreement yet she disaffirmed it one month after her eighteenth birthday when joined the pending lawsuit. How is the court likely to rule in this situation?
