| In case you missed Mayers v. Volt Management: February 27, 2012: http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/opinions/documents/G045036.PDF
In this employment case:
Failure to specify (and provide access to) which AAA Rules applied rendered clauses procedurally unconscionable.
Exposure of employee to possible award of attorneys' fees to employer render clauses substantively unconscionable also,
since California Fair Employment and Housing Act has been interpreted to allow employer to recover such fees only if
employee suit was frivolous, unreasonable, without foundation, or brought in bad faith. |
