Case: Discrimination/Arbitration (C.D. Cal.)

A California federal district court denied Space Exploration Technologies Corp.'s motion to compel arbitration of sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and retaliation claims under California Government Code § 12940 brought by a female Senior Program Security Officer/Manager, finding that the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act applied because the plaintiff alleged non-frivolous sexual harassment claims that were intertwined with her other claims, making the pre-dispute arbitration agreement unenforceable despite the delegation clause.
