Kibler Fowler & Cave LLP
In this edition of the KF&C California Law Blog, we discuss the recent California Supreme Court decision in Quach v. California Commerce Club, No. S275121, 2024 WL 3530266 (Cal. July 25, 2024), in which the court eliminated the longstanding requirement under the California Arbitration Act that a party opposing arbitration show that it had suffered prejudice as a result of the moving party’s delay in attempting to compel arbitration. The elimination of the prejudice requirement will likely result in more frequent claims of waiver in opposition to a party’s attempt to enforce an arbitration agreement. Practitioners responding to a complaint should promptly investigate whether the dispute may be subject to an arbitration agreement before engaging in any litigation conduct including serving even initial discovery. Parties seeking to avoid arbitration clauses will likely test the boundaries of waiver and argue that even very limited litigation conduct should result in waiver. Parties seeking to avoid that result should diligently investigate issues of arbitrability and if appropriate, move to compel arbitration at the earliest opportunity.
