p0528 REVIEW DENIED An arbitration agreement that would have applied to an employee's statutory claim for violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act and common law claim for wrongful termination in violation of public policy was unenforceable for procedural unconscionability because of the unequal bargaining positions of the parties, and for substantive unconscionability because it required the employee to pay ten thousand dollars in arbitration costs and because it required all claims by the employee to be arbitrated while the employer could litigate some of its claims.CitationABRAMSON v JUNIPER (Unconscionable Arbitration Agreement) 115 Cal.App.4th 638 [See: Armendariz v Foundation 24 C4 83, T/AT 9/00; Little v Auto Stiegler 29 C4 1064, P/AT 5/03; Kinney v United 70 Cal.App.4th 1322, T/AT 5/99]
