Ross Stores v. Superior Court CA1/1
We last considered this case in an appeal by Ross Stores, Inc. from an order denying its petition to compel arbitration. We reversed in an unpublished opinion (Goss v. Ross Stores (Oct. 31, 2013, A133895) [nonpub. opn.]). In our opinion, we acknowledged the courts of appeal were split on the compelled arbitrability of representative claims under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (Lab. Code, § 2698 et seq.) (PAGA) and that the issue was before our Supreme Court in Iskanian v. CLS Transportation Los Angeles, LLC (2014) 59 Cal.4th 348 (Iskanian). In Iskanian, the Supreme Court concluded an employee cannot be compelled to arbitrate a representative PAGA claim. (Id. at p. 360.) In short, the Supreme Court embraced the view we had declined to adopt in our unpublished opinion. We last considered this case in an appeal by Ross Stores, Inc. from an order denying its petition to compel arbitration.
