Division, LLC<\/em>.&nbsp; Here, a prime contractor on a federal project in Louisiana hired a drywall subcontractor.&nbsp; The subcontract contained a detailed provision to address disputes with the final process as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[I]t may choose to pursue the matter in court, subject to the requirements on venue and alternative dispute resolution agreed to herein. Any claim by[subcontractor] filed in state or federal court against [prime contractor] and\/or [prime contractor\u2019s] surety shall only be filed and\/or resolved in anycourt within the exclusive venue of Duval County, Florida.&nbsp;At [prime contractor\u2019s] sole option, [prime contractor] may require Alternative DisputeResolution (ADR) methods to be used to resolve the dispute,&nbsp;including binding arbitration&nbsp;in accordance with the Construction Industry Rules ofthe American Arbitration Association,&nbsp;instead of litigation in a court of law. In the event [prime contractor] elects binding arbitration, any claimsthat [subcontractor] may have against any bonds provided by [prime contractor] shall be stayed, pending the result of such binding arbitration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(As an aside, an arbitration provision is enforceable if it gives one party \u2013 perhaps the prime contractor\u2014the sole option to select arbitration as the binding dispute resolution procedure, as was the situation in this arbitration provision.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to a dispute between the drywall subcontractor and prime contractor, the prime contractor filed a lawsuit in state court in Louisiana. &nbsp;The subcontractor, after a mediation between the parties reached an impasse, moved to dismiss the lawsuit and contemporaneously filed a lawsuit in Florida federal court against the prime contractor and Miller Act payment bond surety (based on venue provision in the subcontract).&nbsp; The prime contractor did not dispute the dismissal contending it was formally invoking its right to arbitrate with the subcontractor. The prime contractor further moved to compel arbitration of the subcontractor\u2019s Florida federal court lawsuit pursuant to its rights under the subcontract\u2019s dispute resolution procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The subcontractor argued that the prime contractor waived its right to compel arbitration by virtue of it initially filing a lawsuit against the subcontractor in Louisiana state court. &nbsp;The prime contractor countered that the subcontractor cannot meet the required heavy burden to support waiver and, nonetheless, it did not act inconsistent with its rights to arbitrate.&nbsp; The Federal Magistrate agreed with the prime contractor finding that waiver did not occur recommending the parties be compelled to binding arbitration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the Magistrate found that the prime contractor filing the Louisiana lawsuit where there was limited litigation was insubstantial and did not result in the substantial participation in litigation to demonstrate it was acting inconsistent with its right to arbitrate. Further, once the subcontractor filed its lawsuit in the Florida federal court, the prime contractor filed its motion to compel the lawsuit to arbitration and did not substantially participate in litigation in the Florida federal court.&nbsp; \u201c<strong>Under the \u2018totality of circumstances,\u2019 it does not appear that the Louisiana Lawsuit or the current case [in Florida federal court\u201d] before this Court amount to \u2018substantial participation in litigation\u2019 to a point that was inconsistent with the intent to arbitrate<\/strong>.\u201d<em>&nbsp;U.S. f\/u\/b\/o John Wayne Construction, G.S.A. Division, LLC, supra.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, the Magistrate found that even if the prime contractor acted inconsistent with its right to arbitrate by initiating the Louisiana lawsuit, this would not matter because there was no prejudice to the subcontractor. The Magistrate noted that while the subcontractor incurred costs due to the Louisiana lawsuit, the subcontractor filed only one motion, a hearing was not held on the motion, and the dispute was dismissed without prejudice; thus, the expenses were not so prejudicial to the subcontractor.&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Moreover, \u201clooking at the totality of circumstances (along with the finding that the Louisiana Lawsuit amounted to insubstantial litigation), the undersigned [Magistrate] find that [the subcontractor] is not so prejudiced to satisfy its heavy burden.\u201d<\/strong><em>&nbsp;U.S. f\/u\/b\/o John Wayne Construction, G.S.A.
