Tomorrow morning, the Supreme Court will file its opinion in Sandquist v. Lebo Automotive, Inc., which was argued on the early-May calendar.
Sandquist raises the issue if the trial court or the arbitrator decides whether an arbitration agreement provides for class arbitration if the agreement itself is silent on the issue.
Because only the Sandquist opinion is filing tomorrow, it looks like next Monday will be a busy filing day. That’s the last regular filing day within the 90-day deadline for three opinion-less early-May calendar cases — People v. Macabeo (warrantless cellphone search), Baral v. Schnitt (anti-SLAPP), and People v. Jackson (death penalty). There is one other case from that calendar yet to be decided — Friends of the College of San Mateo Gardens v. San Mateo County Community College District — but the court asked for post-argument supplemental briefing and did not resubmit the case (restarting the 90-day period) until June 23.
The Sandquist opinion can be viewed tomorrow starting at 10:00 a.m.
