Arbitration Agreement May Not Delegate Issue Of Arbitrability To The Arbitrator.

In Chin v. Advance Fresh Concepts Franchise Corp. (Cal. App. Second Dist., Div. 4; April 20, 2011) 194 Cal.App.4th 704, [123 Cal.Rptr.3d 547, 2011 DJDAR 5595], an arbitration clause provided that the arbitrator, rather than the court, was to decide issues of arbitrability (delegation clause). But, even if such a clause is unconscionable, the court should nevertheless order arbitration unless other portions of the clause are also unconscionable.
