UPDATE: On December 29, 2019, the U.S. District
Court for the Eastern District of California issued an order
temporarily enjoining the enforcement of
AB 51 (California's anti-arbitration law discussed here and here) pending resolution of
plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction, highlighting
the "likelihood of irreparable injury" to California
employers, and noting plaintiffs had "raised serious questions
regarding whether the challenged statute is preempted by the
Federal Arbitration Act as construed by the United States Supreme
Court."
The court will hear plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary
injunction on January 10, 2020.
