Foundation Health argued that if some of the provisions were unconscionable or contrary to public policy, the proper remedy would be to strike or restrict those clauses pursuant to Civil Code section 1670.5, and to enforce the rest of the arbitration agreement. In summarising developments leading to the decision of the Supreme Court of California, Judge Stanley Mosk stated: :The trial court chose the employees' preferred solution of refusing to enforce the arbitration agreement, but the Court of Appeal sided with the employer and enforced the agreement minus the one provision it found unconscionable.
