Aviagames, Inc. v. Pandolfi

Pending petition

Docket No. Op. BelowArgument Opinion Vote Author Term
25-1008 9th Cir. TBD TBD TBD TBD TBD

Issue: (1) Whether the Federal Arbitration Act's equal-treatment requirement is violated by a rule deeming arbitration agreements procedurally unconscionable when they incorporate the American Arbitration Association’s rules because those rules are “subject to change”; and (2) whether California’s arbitration-specific severability doctrine—under which the Ninth Circuit refused to enforce the severance provision in the parties’ arbitration agreement—violates the FAA’s equal-treatment rule.
