AG Sources
Court of appeal denied defendants’ interlocutory appeal, finding that the FAA did not provide jurisdiction to resolve the class certification issue because it was not a final judgment on the merits. Court found defendants’ jurisdictional arguments under the FAA to be unpersuasive, concluding that §16(a)(1)(A) of the FAA only granted the court authority to consider the denial of stay and that §16(a)(1)(B) only applied to a petition to compel arbitration, which was not present here. Court held it had jurisdiction only over the denial of the request for stay, but affirmed the district court’s decision to deny the request pursuant to the FAA, finding the request premature. – Taylor v. TravelCenters of America (2017)
