Description
A defendant answered a complaint but did not allege a right to arbitrate as an affirmative defense, then participated in the discovery process without claiming a right to arbitrate. Three months later, the defendant moved to compel arbitration. The plaintiff cried foul, pointing out that the defendant had known about the arbitration provision at the time this case was filed and served. The trial court said there was no waiver and compelled arbitration. We conclude otherwise on the theory that, in litigation as in life, you cant have your cake and eat it too.
