DE Consulting Group v. Yokohama Ventures CA2/3
This appeal concerns a failed business relationship between the individual plaintiff and his corporation, on the one hand, and the individual defendant and her several entities, on the other. Various of the parties entered into four separate contracts governing different aspects of their relationships. As relevant to this appeal, two of the contracts contained arbitration clauses—one subject to Delaware law, and the other to California law—while the other two contracts did not. After the relationships between the parties ended, plaintiffs filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court asserting 14 causes of action against the various defendants. Defendants moved to compel arbitration, and the trial court granted the motion as to some, but not all, of the causes of action. Defendants have appealed from the order to the extent that it denies the motion to compel arbitration.
