The following excerpt is from Burton v. Cruise, 10 Cal. Daily Op. Serv. 15, 265, 118 Cal.Rptr.3d 613, 190 Cal.App.4th 939 (Cal. App. 2011):
California law favors arbitrations as a relatively quick and cost-effective means to resolve disputes. ( Moncharsh v. Heily & Blase (1992) 3 Cal.4th 1, 9, 10 Cal.Rptr.2d 183, 832 P.2d 899.) There is a statutory exception where the "right to compel arbitration has been waived" by the moving party. ( 1281.2, subd. (a).)
