CALIFORNIA COURT OF APPEAL
Did plaintiff's PAGA action allege any individual claims?
Employment
Leeper v. Shipt, Inc., et al. (2024) _ Cal.App.5th _, 2024 WL 5251619: The Court of Appeal reversed the trial court’s order denying defendants’ motion to compel arbitration of plaintiff’s action under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (PAGA; Lab. Code, § 2698 et seq.). The trial court denied the motion based upon its conclusion that plaintiff’s PAGA action did not allege any individual claims subject to arbitration under the parties’ arbitration agreement. The Court of Appeal disagreed and reversed. Based on the unambiguous, ordinary meaning of the relevant statutory language and the legislative history of that language, the Court of Appeal concluded that every PAGA action necessarily includes an individual PAGA claim. The Court of Appeal reversed the trial court and directed the trial court to enter a new order (1) compelling the parties to arbitrate plaintiff’s individual PAGA claim and (2) staying the representative PAGA claim portion of the lawsuit. (C.A. 2nd, December 30, 2024.)
