Binding Arbitration-Does it have value?
It is common in the business environment today, for contracts to contain binding arbitration clauses. You will read about this area of the law in the Alternative Dispute Resolution section of Chapter 3. In short, however, courts will often honor a binding arbitration provision and compel arbitration.
Arbitration is different from a court hearing in many ways. Among other differences, you do not have a jury in arbitration. You do not usually have the rules of evidence, discovery and procedure. You do not usually have a right to an appeal. Worst of all, the arbitration forum is usually selected by the other side and may lack basic fairness.
Assume for this Discussion Board, that Susan Wainwright has worked for Big Company for three years as an administrative assistant to a vice president. As a result of her rejecting her boss’ attentions, she was first demoted, then left without assignments, and finally fired. She makes an EEOC complaint and files suit in Federal Court. The employer moves to compel binding arbitration. If the employer is successful, Susan will lose the right to a jury trial, discovery, rules of evidence, rules of civil procedure, right to an appeal and will be in a forum provided for in the employment contract. That forum is rumored to be unfair to employees.
In this Discussion Board, draw on your own experiences, the readings in the book and your personal opinions. Discuss whether the court should grant the employer’s motion to compel binding arbitration
Question 2150-200 words in length
Employment contracts can often contain a number of restrictive agreements, such as confidentiality agreements, work-for-hire agreements relating to copyrights, and especially, covenants-not-to-compete. In states like Missouri, covenants-not-to compete are valid and will be enforced by the courts through temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions. Violations of these injunctions can result in substantial money sanctions and even imprisonment. Also, in a state like Missouri, employment is usually at-will. This permits the employer to terminate any worker at any time and for no reason.
Ms. Liam Sandof came to work for BuyherePayhere Carpets in St. Louis as their sales manager two months ago. Prior to coming to BuyherePayhere, Liam had worked for twenty-three years in St. Louis in the carpet sales industry and was making $200,000 a year.She signed a covenant-not-to-compete with BuyherePayhere, in which she acknowledged that she was an employee-at-will and in which she promised not to compete in the carpet sales and service industry within 100 mile of the St. Louis Arch for four years after either she quit or was fired. After two months BuyherePayhere decides they don’t like Liam and they fire her. They advise her that she is bound by the covenant-not-to-compete and will be immediately sued if she tries to go back to her old job or tries to sell carpet in the St. Louis area before four years is up. Carpet sales is the only trade Liam knows. She is the sole support of her six children and disabled mother.
Task: Discuss the fairness of covenants-not-to-compete agreements from both the employer and employee viewpoints.
Question 3150-200 words in length
A guarantee must be in writing to be enforceable. Just signing a contract does not bind you to anything unless you are named in the contract and agree to do something.
Oak Allen is a college student who wants to rent a house for his junior year. He negotiates with the landlord, Gaby Santos, and they reach an oral agreement whereby Oak will rent the house for one year, starting next month. This is the kind of a contract that must be in writing to be enforceable since it cannot be performed within one year. Oak and the landlord sign the contract. Oak is named as the tenant and Gaby is named as the Landlord. The day Oak is to move in, his father, Terry Allen, drops him off with Oak’s stuff. The landlord sees Terry and gets him to sign on the last page of the lease. Terry is not named in the lease and doesn’t do anything except sign his name on the last page of the lease. During the course of the lease, Oak trashes the place and causes the property to be seized by the police when pot is discovered. The landlord, Gaby, is at her wits end when she discovers, that Oak has no insurance and no money. Gaby, after talking with her attorney, discovers that Gaby can only sue Terry Allen for what he promised to do in the lease. As it turns out, although Terry Allen signed the lease, he is not mentioned in the lease, promised nothing and has broken no promises.
Task: Discuss from both the landlord’s view and Terry Allen’s view whether it is fair for Terry Allen to avoid liability on this technicality.
Question 4150-200 words in length
Pay special attention to Contracts involving Carriers on pages 465 and 467.Under the transfer of title and risk of loss rules, the parties may decide when title transfers and risk of loss transfers. Terms, such as FOB Seller’s place of business and FAS Buyer’s dock, are common provisions.If the parties don’t state in the contract when transfers occur, then the gap-filler rules under the UCC apply.
The assumption under the UCC is that the parties intend a shipment contract. Under this approach, title and risk of loss transfers to the buyer when the common carrier takes possession of the goods. Goods damaged in transit, unless other terms are agreed to, are the Buyer’s problem. Also, common carriers are strictly liable for damage to goods in their possession. Unless additional insurance was taken out, common carriers are only liable to the extent of their published tariffs.Patricia Richards lives in Marshall, VA. and orders an expensive computer from BuyherePayhere Computers. There are no fancy delivery terms, except that the website mentions that BuyherePayhere will send the computer to the customer.
The computer is given by William W. Williams, the BuyherePayhere shipping clerk in Royal, MO. to ExFed Delivery, which is a common carrier. ExFed loses the computer somewhere on its way to Virginia. When the computer eventually shows up, it is found to be smashed to smithereens. ExFed apologies and pays the full amount disclosed on its tariff ($5). No additional insurance was taken out. Patricia is a renter and has no insurance on the computer.Patricia owes, with interest, $3,756.17 to BuyherePayhere for the computer.
Task: Discuss the fairness of the UCC transfer of title and risk of loss rules from both the buyer and the seller viewpoints.

Her business is in the crowed old part of town near the White River steamboat landing.

Question 7150-200 words in length
When we studied the U.S. Constitution, we learned that the Federal Government has only limited enumerated powers. For example, the Federal Government can regulate interstate commerce. The Federal Government is further limited through the Bill of Rights. These rights include freedom of speech, right of free assembly, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, right to a jury trial, right to an attorney and other express protections.
The NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) signed into law early in 2012 appears to authorize the military to detain U.S. citizens indefinitely without trial, without charges, without an attorney and without access to court review. It permits summary searches and seizures. It might even permit citizens to be assassinated. Supposedly, it recognizes that the United States is now a battlefield. Research “NDAA and indefinite detention” on the Internet. Read and consider the protections of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. (These are in the appendix to our text book).
Pretend someone near and dear to you has attended a political rally and has been indefinitely detained by the Federal government. Consider whether the NDAA and the U.S. Constitution/Bill of Rights are in conflict, and which should control. You must consider both sides of the issue fairly.
