What is a motion to enjoin arbitration?
A motion to enjoin arbitration is a legal request that can be filed in any court of competent jurisdiction in Texas. The request is made by a party involved in the arbitration process and asks that the court prohibit the continuation of the arbitration process. The motion to enjoin arbitration argues that it is not in the best interests of the parties involved to proceed with the arbitration process because, for example, the parties may have already agreed to a settlement or the arbitration process may be expensive. The motion to enjoin arbitration can also be used to ask the court to stay the existing arbitration proceedings pending the outcome of a determination of the question of law that the parties are in disagreement about. In Texas, the Texas Uniform Arbitration Act governs arbitration proceedings. As such, a motion to enjoin arbitration must include specific language as provided in the Act. It must also include a detailed timeline that outlines the events surrounding the dispute, including the date that the dispute first arose and the date on which the motion was filed. The filing party must also state the specific reasons why they believe the arbitration process should be enjoined. If the motion is granted, the court will order the parties to stop all proceedings related to the arbitration. This order will remain in effect until the court makes a final determination on the matter at issue or a settlement is reached through other means.
