Texas Supreme Court

Nafta Traders, Inc., Petitioner v. Margaret A. Quinn, Respondent

May 13, 201154 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 961

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the Texas Arbitration Act does not forbid parties from agreeing to limit an arbitrator's authority and to permit judicial review for reversible error, and that the Federal Arbitration Act does not preempt such an agreement; consequently it reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for further consideration of Nafta Traders' vacatur arguments.
