Mandatory Binding Arbitration
Clauses in The Woodlands TX
"Brian Binash, executive vice president of Emerald
Homes in The Woodlands, Texas, tells any client who refuses to sign
his company's arbitration clause to go elsewhere. He says they will continue
the practice, even if (and when) the roaring economy slows down. "
Getting It Built Copping An Attitude: War of Words. Builder Online
Background: HomeOwners for Better Building did a quick survey of
the production builders in The Woodlands
Texas, a rather large group of subdivisions with 10s of thousands of
homes north of Houston. If you decided to take Mr. Binash's advise, could
you buy a new home without giving up your 7th Amendment Rights to a civil
trial? The results of the survey is very clear. The answer is NO.
