In the case of Nino v. The Jewelry Exchange, there were allegations brought forth by Rajae Nino who felt he was discriminated against by his former employer, on the account of his gender and national origin. When he was employed with said employer, he was given a copy of the company’s employment contract by the human resources manager and instructed him to read it and sign it without affording him any opportunity to negotiate over its terms. With most discrimination cases, “the EEOC encourages the parties to discrimination charges to use mediation” (Walsh, p. 20), with this case the employer invoked an arbitration provision in Nino’s employment contract wherein the Court of Appeals decided the arbitration agreement was unconscionable and therefore unenforceable. On the flip side, if the unconscionable terms were removed from the contract, the remainder of the employment contract could be enforced.

Based on the two core findings, all cross complaints made by State are disregarded and State is found to be solely responsible for the damages. Moffatt is also awarded costs on the appeal.

The use of mandatory arbitration provisions under California law has been the subject of much debate and litigation in recent years. As applied to employment contracts, these clauses compel employees to waive their rights to a jury trial for a variety of employment-related disputes, including wage violations, wrongful termination and harassment. In larger businesses with many employees, an arbitration provision may also require employees to relinquish the right to initiate a class action lawsuit. But there are limited circumstances where a court may find that an arbitration clause is not enforceable and permit employees to proceed with an action in court. This occurs when the court finds unconscionability in the contract; that is, the terms of the contract are so inequitable and harsh as to render the arbitration invalid.
