California Supreme Court Declares Predispute Jury Trial Waivers Are Not Enforceable

by Editors on August 8, 2005

Sheppard Mullin LLP reports on a recent California Supreme Court case that is relevant to all in-house counsel that deal with California customers and suppliers:

"On August 4, 2005, in Grafton Partners, et al. v. Superior Court, the California Supreme Court refused to uphold a predispute jury trial waiver. In reaching this decision, the Court expressly overruled Trizec Properties, Inc. v. Superior Court, 229 Cal. App. 3d 1616 (1991) which previously held that predispute jury trial waivers were permissible even in the absence of statutory authorization."
