How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that time and expense defending a motion for summary judgment, along with a 17-month delay, and substantial discovery disclosures constituted prejudice
- finding that the time and expense associated with merely defending against a summary judgment motion was sufficiently prejudicial to waive arbitration
- noting that a party’s motion for summary judgment, among various other acts, contributed to waiver
- holding pre-trial discovery related to non-arbitrable subject matter does not constitute waiver
- finding waiver where defendant filed motion to dismiss and for summary judgment, as plaintiff was prejudiced by the expense in having to defend motions
- finding prejudice due to discovery as “discovery —whether meaningful or otherwise—is not available in arbitration”
