What does the complaint allege?
The text of the complaint on this page does not extract; it is a set of page stamps. The court's order describes the complaint as alleging that the defendants made "false, misleading, and deceptive representations and omissions concerning their processing of economic assistance via the [PPP]," and that although PPP guidelines stated loans should be processed on a "first come, first served" basis, the defendants prioritized larger loans and loans carrying greater exposure.
What did the court decide?
That the parties do not dispute there is a valid agreement to arbitrate and that the Online Agreement delegates questions of arbitrability to the arbitrator, so the court granted the motion to compel and stayed the case pending the parties' arbitration.
Who is in the proposed class?
As quoted in the order, "All eligible persons or entities in the State of California who applied for a loan under the PPP with Defendants and whose applications were not processed by Defendants in accordance with SBA regulations and requirements or California law."
