Commitment Issues
July 15, 2014Addressing a motion to compel arbitration, the Court of Appeals found that a provision in the defendant’s employee handbook did not require arbitration because that provision stated, in part, that “[b]inding arbitration requires the employee and [defendant] to commit to resolution of all eligible issues and be bound by the decision of the arbitrator.” According to the Court, this language established that the parties had not already agreed to arbitrate, but rather that they must still make the decision if a dispute arises in the future.
