App. 4th 642, overturned a trial court ruling granting Defendant’s motion to compel Plaintiff’s representative PAGA case to arbitration. The Court of Appeal held that pursuant to the holding in Iskanian v. CLS Transportation Los Angeles, LLC (2014) 59 Cal.4th 348, 384, a representative PAGA action cannot be compelled to arbitration.
