TRB Network v. Woori Pharmacy
The parties to this appeal entered two contracts, each containing a forum selection clause. The clause states that the contracts may be enforced by an arbitration panel, in superior court or in federal court, so long as the forum is located in Southern California. Plaintiff instituted litigation in superior court. Sixteen months later, defendant moved to compel arbitration. The trial court denied the petition because the forum clause permits disputes to be resolved in any of the three specified fora, and plaintiff chose litigation, not arbitration. Court affirm.
