Case Summary

5002 Plaintiff anesthesiologists, who sued their medical group and a hospital for discrimination and other causes of action, were not personally bound by a 2008 arbitration agreement between the defendants and a corporation in which the plaintiffs were shareholders. They also were not bound by a 2006 arbitration agreement that limited the remedies an arbitrator could award because the agreement was substantively and procedurally unconscionable.
