Virginia Supreme Court Denies Applicability of Employer's Arbitration Agreement for Employee's Lawsuit.

The Supreme Court of Virginia denied the applicability of an arbitration agreement between Dillard’s Inc. and its employees.  This case arose when Dillard’s terminated two employees for suspicion of embezzlement and then filed criminal charges against the employees.  Thereafter, the criminal charges were dismissed and the employees brought a civil action of malicious prosecution against Dillard’s.  Dillard’s attempted to enforce an arbitration agreement with the employees but the trial court denied its request.  The Supreme Court of Virginia granted an interlocutory appeal but decided against Dillard’s.  The Supreme Court reasoned that the language in the contract was too narrow to include actions take between the employee and employer after the employee was terminated.
