ISKANIAN DENIED: SCOTUS LEAVES CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT'S SPLIT DECISION IN PLACE

摘要

What likely would have been the U.S. Supreme Court's biggest arbitration case this term will not be heard. On Jan. 20, the Court rejected a petition for a writ of certiorari in Iskanian v. CLS Transportation Los Angeles, No. 14-341, without providing a reason for the denial. The original plaintiff had asked the Court to review a California Supreme Court decision in the case, Iskanian v. CLS, No. S204032 (Cal. Jun. 23, 2014). The case involves alleged labor code violations and an unfair competition claim brought by the plaintiff as both a class representative seeking damages, and also in a representative capacity under the California Private Attorney General Act, or PAGA.
