No prejudice, no waiver of arbitration
October 2, 2018The party opposing arbitration in Camp v. Potts pointed to a year-long delay in moving to compel arbitration, during which the underlying matter was set for trial and required travel and expense to be available during that setting. Unfortunately, as to other parts of the framework in Perry Homes v. Cull, 258 S.W.3d 580 (Tex. 2008), “[t]he record . . . contains no evidence the trial preparation would not be useful in arbitrating their claims as well,” and the parties “have not argued, and we see no evidence in the record, that the delay caused any harm caused to their legal position.” Accordingly, the Fifth Court reversed the denial of the motion to compel arbitration.
