Unconscionability Of Arbitration Clause Involved In Car Wash Employees’ Contracts Was At Issue In This Case
Today, Carmona v. Lincoln Millenium Car Wash, Inc., Case No. B248143 (2nd Dist. Div. 8 filed April 21, 2014) (certified for publication May 9, 2014), originally not certified for publication, has been ordered to be published in the Official Reports. On April 23, 2014, I posted about this case. The Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court’s order, finding the arbitration agreement to be permeated by unconscionability, and refusing severance. An interesting aspect of the case is the weight given by the Court, in concluding that there was a high degree of procedural unconscionability, to the employer’s failure to translate key provisions into Spanish for Spanish-speaking employees.
