Ninth Circuit says ex-Netflix employee must face arbitration in sexual harassment case

A former Netflix employee must undergo arbitration for a sexual harassment case, as the Ninth Circuit ruled the dispute arose before the 2022 Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act. The court found the arbitration clause in her contract valid because her claims predated the law, despite her argument that the dispute began in 2023 when she filed a formal complaint.
