Ogletree Deakins: California Supreme Court Issues Pro-Arbitration Agreement Decision | Practical Law
This Law Firm Publication by Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. discusses a recent decision by the California Supreme Court, which upheld as enforceable an arbitration agreement containing a clause allowing the parties to seek provisional relief in a judicial action while still having the remainder of the dispute remain in arbitration. The California Supreme Court's decision in Baltazar v. Forever 21, Inc. found that the carve-out clause permitting provisional relief in addition to arbitration was not substantively unconscionable.
