Arbitration: Because Arbitration Was Governed By The FAA, Lower Court’s Order Denying Arbitration To Defendant Employer For Failure To Pay Arbitration Expenses Within 30 Days Was Reversed On Appeal

FAA Governance Of The Arbitration Process Was Dispositive.

               In Boub v. Prime Healthcare, Case No. B334972 (2d Dist., Div. 4 Jan. 25, 2025) (unpublished), a lower court’s order denying a defendant employer’s motion to compel arbitration for failure to pay arbitration expenses within 30 days under CCP § 1281.98 was reversed because the FAA governed the process, not the CAA section 1281.98 protocol.
