California Law No Bar to Jury Trial Waiver in Arbitration Agreement, California Appeal Court Rules
Date: | 6.29.2012 |
California law does not prohibit an employer from requiring an employee to waive his or her right to a jury trial in an agreement with an arbitration provision, the California Court of Appeal has ruled. Pulli v. Pony Int’l, LLC, No. D059137 (Cal. Ct. App. June 19, 2012). The Court held the law simply prohibits an employer from gaining an employee’s release of a wage claim in certain cases. Accordingly, it reversed an order denying the employer’s motion to compel arbitration of an employee’s breach-of-contract and related claims.
