California Tries Again: Group PAGA Claims Stay in Court Despite Arbitration Agreements
In an opinion filed July 17, 2023, the California Supreme Court held that an individual who has had their individual Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) claim compelled to arbitration may maintain a nonindividual PAGA claim in state court. In doing so, the California high court disagreed with the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Viking River. The case—Adolph v. Uber Technologies, Inc.—means that California employers will continue to have to litigate PAGA cases in state court even if they have a valid arbitration agreement and compel an individual’s claims to arbitration.

Earlier this week, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that 28 U.S.C. section 1782—which permits courts to order discovery “for use in a proceeding in a foreign or international tribunal”—does not authorize a district court to order discovery for use in any arbitration conducted by a non-governmental body. Specifically, the Court held that “only a governmental or intergovernmental adjudicative body constitutes a ‘foreign or international tribunal’ under § 1782” and explained that “[s]uch bodies are those that exercise governmental authority conferred by one nation or multiple nations.”
