AG Sources
Unhappy with her termination, González filed this suit on September 23, 2010, alleging that Hurley had violated Law 21 when it terminated her without “just cause.” Docket # 1. Under the Agreement’s mandatory arbitration clause, Hurley moved to compel arbitration (Docket # 6), which González opposed (Docket # 10). Because the Agreement had expired in July 2009, the Court reasoned, Hurley had failed “to meet one of the essential elements that compel arbitration, to wit, the existence of a valid agreement to arbitrate.” González v. Hurley Int’l, Inc., 763 F. Supp. 2d 288, 294 (D.P.R. 2011). The Court thus denied the Company’s motion to compel arbitration on February 9, 2011. -Gonzalez v. Hurley Corporation (2013)
