On March 12, the Texas Supreme Court held that the state’s arbitration law allows an interlocutory appeal of a trial court order that denied confirmation of an arbitrator’s award, vacated the award and directed the dispute to be arbitrated anew with key findings of fact already made by the judge.
The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision came in East Texas Salt Water Disposal Co. Inc. v. Werline, which involves a dispute between an oilfield service business and Richard Leon Werline, a petroleum engineer who the company had employed. The statute at issue is the state’s General Arbitration Act, Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code §§171.001-098.
