Solo v. United Parcel Service Company
United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
947 F.3d 968 (2020)

- Written by Samuel Omwenga, JD
Facts
Joe Solo and BleachTech LLC (plaintiffs) purchased liability insurance for valuable packages shipped by United Parcel Service Company (UPS) (defendant). Solo and BleachTech brought a class-action lawsuit against UPS in July 2014 alleging that UPS systemically overcharged its customers for this liability insurance. UPS successfully moved to dismiss the lawsuit. Solo and BleachTech appealed. In its motion to dismiss, UPS reserved its right to move to compel arbitration and noted its motion was not a waiver of this right. The order granting UPS’s motion to dismiss was reversed on appeal, and the matter was remanded for trial. After several months of discovery, UPS moved before the district court to compel arbitration before the district. The motion was denied, and UPS appealed.
