Mitri v. Arnel Management Co

In Mitri v. Arnel Management Co. (2007) 157 Cal.App.4th 1164, the employer's policy expressly required the employee to sign an arbitration agreement, and hence the court rejected the employer's contention that a unilateral contract to arbitrate was created, in the absence of a signed agreement, by the employee's continued employment with notice of the arbitration program. In short, the express language of the arbitration agreement did not permit the inference of an implied-in-fact unilateral contract to arbitrate. (Id. at pp. 1172-1173.)
