United States Ninth Circuit
Poublon v. C.H. Robinson Co., 15-55143
In an employment class action, the district court's order denying defendants' motion to stay proceedings, compel arbitration of claims arising out of the plaintiff's employment, and dismiss class and representative claims, is reversed where: 1) although the Incentive Bonus Agreement was an adhesion contract, it was not procedurally or substantively unconscionable under California law; and 2) the dispute resolution provision was valid and enforceable once the judicial carve-out was extirpated and the waiver of representative claims was limited to non-PAGA claims.
