Case Held That Arbitration Agreement Between Indiana Based Distance-Learning Partnership And California Licensed Vocational Nurses Was Unconscionable.

      We can report that on July 8, 2016, Magno v. The College Network, Inc., D067687 (4/1 6/14/16) (McConnell, Nares, O’Rourke), a case we posted about on June 22, 2016, was ordered for publication.  Perhaps the most notable part of the case is the weight that the Court gave to an Indiana forum selection clause for binding arbitration in determining that substantive unconscionability existed.  Also, there was an absence of evidence that the plaintiffs, young nursing students, knew about the forum selection clause.
