Texas Supreme Court

In Re General Electric Capital Corporation, Relator

September 22, 200649 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 1054

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court granted mandamus relief, directing the trial court to return the case to the non‑jury docket. It held that General Electric did not waive its contractual right to a non‑jury trial by failing to notice the docket change, that the jury‑waiver provision was valid and enforceable, and that the trial court abused its discretion in refusing to enforce it.
