Bos Material Handling, Inc. v. Crown Controls Corp

In Bos Material Handling, Inc. v. Crown Controls Corp. (1982) 137 Cal.App.3d 99, a plaintiff contended in opposition to arbitration that, because it included doe defendants in the complaint on claims related to those claims against the signatory, the trial court should deny the signatory's motion to compel arbitration. The court rejected the plaintiff's argument because the naming of doe defendants did not demonstrate an actual risk of conflicting rulings on common legal or factual issues. Id. at 112.)
