AI Assignment II
Sameera Arshad and Almorfa, LLC (Arshad Parties) acquired an American
Express
“business Gold Rewards” credit card in 2012. Years later, American Express
sued the Arshad
Parties for breach of contract, alleging the Arshad Parties owed
$316,007.19, for which the Arshad Parties
filed a general denial. The trial court
ruled in favor of American Express, to which the
Arshad Parties appealed on two
issues: the factual sufficiency of the evidence used to support the judgment
on
American Express’s breach-of-contract claim and the claim the trial court erred
in
overruling the Arshad Parties’ objection to the testimony of Morales-Arias. The
Texas Supreme
Court found that the evidence produced by American Express was
sufficient based on the ArshadParties’ usage and agreement to the Cardmember
Agreement; thus, the Texas Supreme Court
overruled this issue. The Texas
Supreme Court also found that the trial court did not err in letting Morales-
Arias
testify because a corporation has a right to a corporate representative at trial,
even
if the corporation fails to disclose the representative as a witness in the
discovery phase; so, the
Texas Supreme Court also overruled this issue presented
by the Arshad Parties. Ultimately, the
Texas Supreme Court affirmed the trial
court’s judgment.
