#26-58 Williams v. Tata Consultancy Services, Ltd., S295344. (B342796; nonpublished opinion; Los Angeles County Superior Court; 24SMCV01432.) Petition for review after the Court of Appeal affirmed an order denying a motion to compel arbitration in a civil action. The court ordered briefing deferred pending decision in Leeper v. Shipt, Inc., S289305 (#25-91), which presents the following issues: (1) Does every Private Attorneys General Act (Lab. Code, § 2698 et seq.) (PAGA) action necessarily include both individual and non-individual PAGA claims, regardless of whether the complaint specifically alleges individual claims? (2) Can a plaintiff choose to bring only a nonindividual PAGA action?

Petition for review granted; briefing deferred: 4/01/2026
