Griggs v. Guess? CA4/9
Debra Lynn Griggs sued her former employer Guess?, Inc. (Guess), alleging wrongful termination and other employment-related causes of action. Guess petitioned to compel arbitration, asserting Griggs electronically signed an arbitration agreement covering all claims. Griggs denied she electronically signed the agreement. In opposing Guess’s petition, Griggs offered her own declaration, unequivocally stating she “did not” electronically sign the agreement, and the declaration of an information security expert, who opined Guess’s technical security controls were not sufficiently secure to confirm the electronic signature was “the act of” Griggs, as required under the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). (Civ. Code, § 1633.9.)
