Martinez v. Anaheim Point Healthcare & Wellness Ce
Anaheim Point Healthcare & Wellness Centre, L.P. (Anaheim Point) appeals from the trial court’s denial of its motion to compel Maria Martinez to arbitrate her employment claims. Martinez opposed the motion to arbitrate on the grounds she did not speak or read English, the arbitration agreement was given to her buried among other documents, Anaheim Point did not explain the agreement to her, and failed to provide a Spanish version of the agreement. Martinez also argued the agreement was procedurally and substantively unconscionable, and Anaheim Point was not a signatory to the agreement. The court found there was “no meeting of the minds” because Martinez could not read what she was signing and therefore she was unaware she had agreed to arbitration. We reverse the order denying the motion to compel arbitration and remand for the court to determine whether it would be unconscionable to enforce the arbitration provision.
