A NEW THREAT TO CIVIL JUSTICE |
Monday, 01 July 2002 |
The Assault on Arbitration by Texans for Lawsuit Reform (President Richard Weekley, Texas homebuilder David Weekley's brother) "Another bill, S.B. 1706, would have prohibited the use of pre-dispute binding arbitration agreements in many contracts, such as employment contracts, and would have imposed new restrictions on other arbitrations. The bill, opposed by TLR, failed to pass." NOTE: S.B. 1706 was specifically for contracts that mandated binding arbitration without disclosing the high cost, and possible abuse, such as the contract used by David Weekley.

The Seventh Amendment A 100 Years of Government Encroachment |
Sunday, 30 June 2002 |
"Seen historically therefore, the Seventh Amendment, the right to trial by jury in civil cases involving more than $20, is a bulwark of political liberty rather than a procedural amendment. Its purpose was to provide the citizen protection against the government. The Founding Fathers included many lawyers who knew this would make the judicial system slower, more inefficient and more cumbersome. They saw this as a small price to pay for protecting freedom from corrupt or tyrannical judges or from powerful or rich persons with unfair influence."

"Arbitration, Other Matters: Each party agrees to keep all Disputes and arbitration proceedings strictly confidential, except for disclosing of information required in the ordinary course of business of the parties or by applicable law or regulation." --Contract Clark Wilson Homes, Inc. Austin Texas. NOTE: Does this mean no media attention? No protesting? No letters to our Senators and State Reps? Or to the Texas Attorney Generals Office? (as if that would do any good.) |
