Sengrath v. Audeamus CA5
Defendant Audeamus, a California corporation (Employer), appeals the denial of its motion to compel arbitration of the claims asserted by a former employee. The superior court denied the motion on the grounds that (1) there was no arbitration agreement between the former employee and Employer, (2) the arbitration agreement between her and Employer’s parent company was not drafted to cover her disputes with Employer, and (3) the legal principles that allow a nonsignatory to an agreement to enforce an arbitration provision did not apply in the circumstances of this case. As explained below, Employer has not carried its burden of affirmatively demonstrating superior court error.
We therefore affirm the order denying the motion to compel arbitration.
