Arbitration, Nonsignatories, Automobiles: Third District Affirms Confirmation Of Arbitrator's Award In Favor Of Nonsignatory

The Court Distinguishes Or Refuses To Follow Similar Cases Involving Nonsignatories.

    The Court affirms the confirmation of  an arbitrator's award in favor of a nonsignatory auto manufacturer in Dina C. Felisilda et al., v. FCA US LLC, No. C086043 (3rd Dist.  7/24/20) (Hoch, Robie, Murray) (filed 7/24, certified for publication 8/14/20). "The Felisildas' claim against [the manufacturer] directly relates to the condition of the vehicle that they allege to have violated warranties they received as a consequence of the sales contract [with the dealer]. Because the Felisildas expressly agreed to arbitrate claims arising out of the condition of the vehicle -- even against third party nonsignatories to the sales contract -- they are estopped from refusing to arbitrate their claim against [the manufacturer]."
