Contract - Arbitration - Waiver After Litigation
By Deborah Elkins
Published: January 27, 2009
The 4th Circuit says a defendant modular home contractor waived its right to compel arbitration of a buyer’s warranty claims because the contractor waited until the eve of trial, after two years of pretrial motions and a jury verdict against it in another case, but on the same warranty and in the same court, to assert the arbitration clause.
