The California Supreme Court has granted review in Pearson Dental Supplies, Inc. v. Superior Court (Turcios). According to the Court's web site, the case will address the following issues:
What standard of judicial review applies to an arbitrator's decision on an employee's anti-discrimination claim under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (Gov. Code, section 12900 et seq.) that is arbitrated pursuant to a mandatory employment arbitration agreement?
Can such a mandatory arbitration agreement restrict an employee from seeking administrative remedies for violations of the Act?
