Q. Can I bypass the arbitration clause in a contract if the company has not finished the job in a reasonable amount of time
A: Sorry to hear about your situation. Whether you can bypass the arbitration clause depends on the specific language of your contract and the circumstances of the dispute. Arbitration clauses are generally enforceable in California, but there are limited exceptions. For example, an arbitration agreement may be deemed unenforceable if it is found to be both procedurally and substantively "unconscionable". "Procedural unconscionability" involves issues like unequal bargaining power or hidden terms, while "substantive unconscionability" pertains to overly harsh or one-sided terms in take-it-or-leave-it contracts. I suggest reviewing RAMIREZ v. CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS INC (2024) and cases cited in it for in depth discussion of both. It is also important to review the agreement for the specific arbitration clause, including any exceptions or carve-outs for breaches or non-performance. A consumer protection or construction defect attorney in California would be able to review your contract and determine if you have grounds to bypass arbitration. Hope this helps! ... Read More
