Plaintiff purchase a used vehicle and financed it through American Honda Finance Corporation. In the back of the financing agreement the contract contained an arbitration clause. The California Court of Appeal for the First District held: "Because the arbitration agreement was imposed on [Plaintiff] without the opportunity for negotiation, and was therefore adhesive, we agree the transaction was procedurally unconscionable."

Trial court entered $8M judgment against defendants. Plaintiffs sought financial records from defendants, and when they refused, brought motion before trial court. Trial court ordered defendants to produce records. Defendants appealed without complying with the trial court order. Court of appeal dismissed the appeal under the "disentitlement doctrine": An appellate court has the inherent power, to dismiss an appeal by a party that refuses to comply with a lower court order. See, e.g., Moffat v. Moffat (1980) 27 Cal.3d 645, 652.

P sued D in the Superior Court of San Diego County, and D brought motion for transfer of venue to Orange County, based on the provision of the agreement's venue selection clause. P challenged this transfer of venue. The California Court of Appeal held that venue selection clauses will be upheld for contracts between sophisticated business entities.

City ordinance prohibited dispensing medical marijuana, so city tried to close the business as a public nuisance. Court of Appeal held: Operating a marijuana dispensary under the pre-moratorium City Code constituted a public nuisance per se.

Plaintiff had placed the only bid at the nonjudicial foreclosure auction and auctioneer announced property sold to Plaintiff. Plaintiff made cashier's check payment. Two days later Plaintiff was informed the sale was void. Plaintiff brought quiet title action against Trustee to receive title of property sold in nonjudicial foreclosure sale. California Supreme Court held: Trustee has discretion to void the sale prior to issuing deed, because the wrong opening bid had been communicated to auctioneer, and this amount was less than 10% of the actual amount of debt.
