What Did the WCAB Decide in Cuadra vs. Community Home Care?

Plaintiff, a subcontractor for Massa Construction, Inc., initiated an action against defendant surety to secure payment on a labor and materials bond after Massa ceased payments due to alleged breaches by plaintiff. Defendant denied plaintiff's claim, asserting plaintiff materially breached its subcontract by failing to make pension contributions, provide releases, and obtain a separate payment bond. The Supreme Court granted plaintiff partial summary judgment on liability, which defendant appealed. The Appellate Division affirmed, finding plaintiff presented sufficient evidence of compliance and defendant failed to raise a triable issue of fact regarding a material breach. The court noted that alleged non-payments to suppliers only affected the subcontract price, not Massa's obligation to continue performance, and found no requirement for plaintiff to pay pension contributions to the Iron Workers District Council or obtain a separate payment bond from glaziers unions.

What Did the WCAB Clarify in Ontiveros vs. Savers Stores?

This case involves a second appeal concerning a supersedeas bond. Lee Nick McFadin, III, appealed an order requiring him and his surety to pay the full amount of a supersedeas bond to Broadway Coffeehouse, LLC and the Saks Children Trust after his initial appeal was unsuccessful. The court of appeals dismissed McFadin's appeal, concluding it lacked jurisdiction because the payment order was not a final order. The Supreme Court of Texas disagreed, holding that the trial court's order requiring payment of the bond amount went beyond the original 2014 judgment by imposing new monetary obligations on McFadin. Therefore, the Supreme Court concluded that the order was a final, appealable order and that the court of appeals had jurisdiction to consider the merits of McFadin's appeal. The Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the court of appeals and remanded the case for further proceedings.

Why Was Reconsideration Dismissed in Sabino vs. Johnson Pump Company?

Patricia Rockoff purchased a home from AA Builders, LLC, which included a warranty from Bonded Builders Home Warranty Association of Texas (BBWG). After discovering structural defects, Rockoff filed claims against both AA Builders and BBWG, subsequently initiating a lawsuit. Both AA Builders and BBWG moved to compel arbitration based on the warranty's terms, but the trial court denied these motions. On interlocutory appeal, the appellate court reversed, affirming the validity and scope of the arbitration agreement. The court rejected arguments regarding the unconscionability of arbitrator selection and limitations on remedies, but remanded the case for the trial court to determine if the arbitration costs render the agreement substantively unconscionable after an arbitrator is appointed.
