Tricon Energy Limited v. Vinmar International, Ltd

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• recognizing that blank signature line alone is not necessarily proof that parties required formal signatures for contract to be binding
• holding that an arbitration award granting post-award interest at a specified rate 3 “until paid” is insufficiently “clear and unequivocal” to override the statutory default postjudgment rate
• applying Texas law and noting, in concluding signatures constituted condition precedent, that “the blank signature lines hardly stood alone”
• upholding a district court's order compelling arbitration where an employee demonstrated assent to be bound to an employment agreement’s arbitration provision in an email exchange with her employer
• finding language that specified “post- award interest” would be calculated at a different interest rate from “the date of the award, until paid” did not indicate an intent to circumvent the merger rule
• “The merger rule is not absolute; parties can contract for a non-statutory rate of postjudgment interest.”
