My point is that merely referencing the centuries-old original age of a document is misleading when it’s been updated dozens of times ending just a few decades ago. (And many of the updates, including the one in 1971, have been far more imp

PAGA can be, and sometimes is, explicitly waived by name and/or by description in arbitration agreements which purport to compel arbitration of even those claims. The Supreme Court recently upheld such a waiver with respect to the indi
