Contracts; Arbitration; Bad Faith; Attorney’s Fees
The senior litigation partner of a major national law firm hired the Firm to represent him in a fraud claim against a Texas corporation for causing him mental anguish by breaching a contract for timely delivery of merchandise. The Firm filed suit in Federal Court, the Texas company demanded arbitration, and the Court ordered the case to arbitration, where, after a five-day trial, the Arbitrator found the Texas company was guilty of bad faith and awarded full damages to the Client plus 100% of all fees and costs incurred (over $250,000).
