Arbitration: Where Costs-Shifting Component Only In Employer-Employee Arbitration Agreement Was Unconscionable, It Should Be Severed

Denial Of Motion To Compel Arbitration Was Reversed.

Motive Energy, Inc., Case No. B331359 (2d Dist., Div. 1 July 1, 2024) (unpublished), the appellate court reversed the denial of a motion to compel arbitration under an employer-employee contractual provision because the only unconscionable provision, an improper cost-shifting provision, could be severed so the case could proceed to arbitration.
