New CA Arbitration Case

arbitration iskanian v. cls transportation paga May 10, 2022
 

To do the best job possible as a mediator, arbitrator and referee, I keep up with and summarize the new published California civil cases. In this blog I discuss a new civil case that was published last month. 


Arbitration

A regular issue before the California courts is whether a new U.S. Supreme Court decision has overruled the California Supreme Court decision in Iskanian v. CLS Transportation Los Angeles, LLC (2014) 59 Cal.4th 348. Last month, the Second District Court of Appeal published a new case addressing whether recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions have overruled Iskanian regarding Private Attorney General Act (PAGA; Labor Code, section 2699 et seq.) cases in California. A brief video discussing the case is above and my summary of the case is below.

New Arbitration Decision 

Wing v. Chico Healthcare & Wellness Centre (2022) _ Cal.App.5th _ , 2022 WL 1261452: The Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's order denying defendant's motion to compel arbitration of plaintiff's Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA; Labor Code, section 2699 et seq.). The Court of Appeal concluded that two recent United States Supreme Court cases — Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis (2018) __ U.S. __ [138 S.Ct. 1612] and Kindred Nursing Centers Ltd. Partnership v. Clark (2017) __ U.S. __ [137 S.Ct. 1421] — did not impliedly overrule the California Supreme Court decision in Iskanian v. CLS Transportation Los Angeles, LLC (2014) 59 Cal.4th 348. (C.A. 2nd, April 28, 2022.)
