Estrada v. Automobile Club of Southern Cal. CA4/3
Appellant Victor Estrada appeals following the trial court’s decision to order him to arbitrate his disputes with his former employer, the Automobile Club of Southern California (the Auto Club). He argues there was never a valid arbitration agreement. He further contends that even if the case was properly ordered to arbitration, the arbitrator failed to provide the proper disclosures about previous rulings in the Auto Club’s favor.
We conclude there is no substantial evidence of an agreement to arbitrate in this particular case. There is no signed agreement; merely a declaration by a supervisor that does not include the requisite facts to support the conclusion that Estrada was ever given a copy of the arbitration agreement. We therefore reverse and remand, and need not consider Estrada’s remaining argument with respect to arbitrator disclosures.
