What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I’m a small business owner. In 13 years of being in business not one claim was filed against me. I guess it’s the sign of these economic times, as one of my clients has just filed a meritless small claims lawsuit against me. In the agreement the client signed before we began work, there is an arbitration clause that says “neither client nor company will be able to go court for disputes once both parties agree in advance to arbitration.” The client agreed and signed the agreement. What should I do now? Should I inform the court somehow before the court date?
Thanks in advance.
