Bess v. DirecTV, Inc.
Appellate Court of Illinois
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Donovan
The defendant, DirecTV Inc. (DirecTV), appeals from an order of the circuit court of St. Clair County denying its motion to stay proceedings and to compel arbitration. DirecTV argues that the circuit court erred in finding that the arbitration agreement was procedurally and substantively unconscionable and, therefore, unenforceable. Initially, this court issued an opinion in this case affirming the circuit court’s judgment. Bess v. DirecTV, Inc., No. 5—05—0394 (July 10, 2007). After considering the merits of DirecTV’s petition for rehearing, we now reverse.
