This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis LLP discusses Elijahjuan v. Superior Court, in which the California Court of Appeal held that owner-operator truck drivers were not required to arbitrate their state law misclassification claims. Although the parties' agreements contained a clause requiring arbitration in all disputes arising from the "application or interpretation" of the agreements, the court held that the drivers' California Labor Code claims fell outside the scope of that provision, as they concerned statutory rights rather than an interpretation of contractual rights. One justice dissented, arguing that arbitration clauses have been consistently interpreted as applying to extra-contractual disputes.
