Duenas v. Adecco USA, Inc. CA4/2
Defendant and appellant, Adecco USA, Inc. (Adecco), appeals from the trial court’s order denying Adecco’s motion to compel arbitration of a wrongful termination lawsuit brought by plaintiff and respondent, Jessica Duenas. Adecco contends the trial court erred in requiring proof of electronic security measures to authenticate Duenas’s electronic signature (e-signature) on a Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement for Consultants/Associates (Arbitration Agreement). Adecco also contends the trial court erred in requiring proof of authentication of Adecco’s countersignature on the Arbitration Agreement. We reject Adecco’s contentions and conclude the trial court reasonably found that Adecco failed to meet its burden of proving Duenas electronically signed (e-signed) the Arbitration Agreement. We therefore affirm the trial court’s order denying Adecco’s motion to compel arbitration.
