Not an illusion

October 25, 2018

The appellant in CBRE, Inc. v. Turner sought to avoid arbitration based on a long line of Texas authority about “illusory” arbitration clauses, see, e.g., In re: Halliburton Co., 80 S.W.3d 566 (Tex. 2002). This clause, however, “unlike the employment agreements in other cases . . . did not give CBRE the right to modify the employment agreement unilaterally or the right to terminate the arbitration policy without terminating the employment agreement,” and thus was not illusory. No. 05-18-00404-CV (Oct. 22, 2018).
