Following Belyea v. GreenSky, Inc. (N.D. Cal. 2022) 637 F.Supp.3d 745, 756, this decision holds that the FAA preempts CCP 1281.97 (which requires a finding of material breach and waiver of arbitration if the party compelling arbitration doesn’t pay arbitration fees within 30 days) because that section treats arbitration agreements and performance under them less favorably than other types of contracts where payment within a reasonable time is allowed.
