Listen to this article7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Rajesh Gupta v. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, LLC, et al.
Case No.: 18-3584
Officials: SYKES, BRENNAN, and SCUDDER, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Arbitration
This appeal presents a question of contract formation. After Rajesh Gupta sued his former employer Morgan Stanley for discrimination, retaliation, and defamation, the company moved to compel arbitration. Morgan Stanley contends Gupta agreed to arbitrate these claims after he did not opt out of the company’s arbitration agreement. Gupta responds that during his employment he neither saw an arbitration offer nor agreed to arbitrate employment-related disputes. The district court sided with Morgan Stanley and sent the parties off to arbitration. Gupta appeals this ruling, and we affirm.
