In today's blog, we have the fascinating legal question of whether public customers had waived their right to pursue a FINRA arbitration. Things started off fairly mundane when the customers filed their FINRA Arbitration Statement of Claim. And then the customers entered into a stipulated dismissal of their FINRA claims. No longer parties in an arbitration, the customers hastened to the local courthouse and filed their claims in a civil Complaint. And then the customers had what comes off as a colossal second thought when they attempted to stop the state-court litigation and return to FINRA arbitration. It's as oddball a start-and-stop-and-start-and-lets-try-to-stop mess as it sounds.
