Supreme Court of Texas
In re H&R Block Fin. Advisors, Inc., 04-0061
In a suit brought by two investors against their investment advisor and his firm after losing a substantial investment in the Enron debacle, defendants' petition for mandamus relief challenging a denial of a motion to compel arbitration is conditionally granted where, because all the other terms of the parties' contracts could not be avoided on either the ground that the firm had changed its name, nor the ground that employee did not sign the contracts in his personal capacity, the arbitration clauses could not be avoided either.
