Summary

On January 6, 1998 in Harris County, Texas, a group of Emeralds and one Diamond (Kelly Robbins) downline of Dexter Yager sued Dexter Yager and others (see Defendants above) citing fraud, misrepresentation, and intentional interference in the businesses of the Plaintiffs. Amway, on behalf of the defendants filed a series of counter-claims.

The Court agreed with Amway's argument that the case should be referred to arbitration. The arbitrator found in favour of Amway in all claims against it and in favour of the defendants in all claims against them, however on appeal the US Fifth Circuit Court accepted the appellant's claim that Amway's arbitration agreement should not apply and remanded the case for further hearings.
