On Monday morning, the Supreme Court will file its opinion in Ramirez v. Charter Communications, Inc. (Briefs here; oral argument video here.)
Ramirez is expected to decide whether the Court of Appeal erred in holding that a provision of an arbitration agreement allowing for recovery of interim attorney’s fees after a successful motion to compel arbitration, was so substantively unconscionable that it rendered the arbitration agreement unenforceable. The court granted review in June 2022. More about the case here.
This will be the fifth of nine opinions for cases argued on the early-May calendar. Opinions in the remaining four cases are expected by August 5. Additional argued but undecided cases are the nine on the late-May calendar (opinions expected by August 19, except for the opinion in Castellanos v. State of California, which, because of post-argument briefing, isn’t expected until August 29), and the seven on the June calendar (opinions expected by August 29).
The Ramirez opinion can be viewed Monday starting at 10:00 a.m.
