To show that a dispute as to whether a matter is subject to arbitration is presumptively subject to determination in arbitration requires clear and unmistakable evidence. Clear and unmistakable evidence appeared in a contract\u2019s arbitration agreement, which incorporated by reference the rules of a professional association, which expressly provided that an arbiter shall determine the scope of the arbitrator\u2019s own authority, including the \u201carbitrability of any claim [.]\u201d An order granting arbitration is subject to review by writ of mandamus, not direct appeal. A challenge specific to that incorporation is necessary, in addition to any challenge against the contract as a whole or the arbitration agreement in particular, for relief from that provision.<br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.mo.gov\/file.jsp?id=169136\" target=\"_blank\">STATE OF MISSOURI EX REL.
