Public Injunctive Relief: First District Div. 1 Holds McGill Rule Remains The Law In California

McGill v. CitiBank Held An Arbitration Agreement Is Invalid And Unenforceable If It Waives A Party's Statutory Right To Seek Public Injunctive Relief.

        Ring sells home security and smart home devices. Brandon Jack and others sued Ring, requesting injunctive relief to require Ring to prominently disclose certain things to consumers. Ring moved to compel arbitration, lost its motion, and appealed. Affirmed. Jack v. Ring LLC, A165103, A165386 (1/2  5/25/23) (Miller, Richman, Markman). McGill v. CitiBank, 2 Cal. 5th 945 (2017), is still good California law.
