Heading: The Applicability of Section 1281.2(c)

Text: 19 As noted above, the decision of both the state trial court and the federal district court turned on whether section 1281.2(c) is applicable to the arbitration agreement between MPPC and Dravo. The key to this issue is whether enforcement of an arbitration provision is governed by the law of the state selected in the contract's choice of law provision or by the law of the state selected in the contract's choice of forum provision. Neither party is able to provide authority that directly resolves this issue. 20 We need not address the parties' arguments or resolve this issue of California law. The state trial court has already considered the applicability of section 1281.2(c) and its decision is entitled to preclusive effect under the full faith and credit statute as discussed above.
