what does the law say if you have arbitration but then file a sexual harrassment claim against the party of a party of arbitration in a different state, can you later file a motion to move that sexual harrassment claim into arbitration
In Texas, generally, if you have an arbitration agreement, you can file a motion to compel arbitration for a sexual harassment claim. However, the court will review:
- The arbitration agreement's scope.
- Whether the claim falls under its terms.
- Any state or federal laws affecting arbitrability.
Is your arbitration agreement specific to employment matters, or does it broadly cover all disputes?
what about in California, and the arbitration is in New Jersey
In California, the process is similar but may have some differences:
- California courts will review the arbitration agreement's scope.
- They will determine if the sexual harassment claim falls under its terms.
- They will consider any relevant state or federal laws.
- New Jersey laws might also come into play due to the arbitration location.
Is your arbitration agreement broad or specific to certain types of disputes?
