Disputing has a this helpful recap of the Texas Supreme Court’s arbitration cases from the year 2009. 1

How many of those cases could there be, from one court about one issue? The answer, so far, is an even dozen.

The case tapped as “[p]erhaps the most significant” of these arbitration cases was In re Morgan Stanley, Inc., No. 07-0665 (more info. In that, “The court declined to follow Fifth Circuit precedent and held that the court, not the arbitrator should decide the issue of capacity to contract.” A summary of the case by Victoria VanBuren of Disputing is here; commentary by Professor Alan Scott Rau is here.
