Aviagames, Inc. v. Pandolfi

Pending Petition
Docket No.25-1008
Op. Below9th Cir.

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.
