AUSTIN – A trial court abused its discretion by determining pre-arbitration discovery was warranted in a discrimination lawsuit, the Supreme Court of Texas opined on Friday.
The opinion stems from litigation brought by Maria Ordaz against Copart, Inc. In March 2015, Ordaz, a Christian woman of Arab descent, began working for Copart as a customer service representative.
Court records show Ordaz filed an internal complaint with the company claiming her office manager made derogatory comments about her religion and ethnicity.
Shortly thereafter, Ordaz alleges that she was asked to resign. When she refused, her employment was terminated.
Ordaz sued Copart, claiming discrimination and retaliation. In response, Copart answered and moved to compel arbitration.
