Case Summary

P1618 REV DENIED Under the facts and circumstances of a wrongful termination suit between an attorney and a multinational company, the trial court erred in denying the company's motion to compel arbitration. A provision in the agreement limiting discovery was not unconscionable because the agreement gave the arbitrator discretion to expand discovery if needed, and the provision could be severed if necessary to save the agreement.
