Nguyen v. Inter-Coast International Training CA2/4
Plaintiff and respondent Anthony Nguyen filed a class action lawsuit against his former employer, defendant and appellant Inter-Coast International Training, Inc. (Inter-Coast), alleging various wage and hour claims on behalf of himself and other current and former Inter-Coast employees. Inter-Coast subsequently revised its employee handbook to add an arbitration provision, which many potential members of the class signed during the pendency of the suit. After the court certified the class, Inter-Coast filed a motion to compel arbitration of the claims of the class members who signed the arbitration provision. Plaintiffs—Nguyen, later-added named plaintiff Cheryl Alexander, and the rest of the class—opposed the motion, arguing that the arbitration provision was procedurally and substantively unconscionable. The trial court agreed with plaintiffs and denied the motion to compel. Inter-Coast appealed, and we affirm.
