On Monday morning, the Supreme Court will file opinions in Baltazar v. Forever 21, Inc. and People v. Rangel. Both cases were argued on the January calendar.
Baltazar raises the issue whether an employment arbitration agreement is unconscionable for lack of mutuality if it contains a clause providing that either party may seek provisional injunctive relief in the courts and the employer is more likely to seek such relief. It is an un-hold case. Review was originally granted three years ago, but briefing was deferred pending a decision in Wisdom v. Accentcare. However, the court dismissed review in Wisdom after that case settled and the court then asked for briefing in Baltazar.
Rangel is an automatic appeal from a February 1999 judgment of death.
Both opinions can be viewed Monday starting at 10:00 a.m.
