v No. 355063
Wayne Circuit Court
GOJET AIRLINES, LLC, and WILLIAM CLAY, LC No. 20-004106-CD
Defendants-Appellants.
ON REMAND
Before: CAMERON, P.J., and RICK and PATEL, JJ.
PATEL, J. (concurring).
Because this case presents facts similar to Johnson v Best Buy Co, Inc., ___ Mich App ___;
___ NW3d ___ (2025) (Docket No. 363807), which we are bound by, I concur in the result. I
write separately, however, to note my disagreement with Johnson’s conclusion that arbitration
agreements within employment contracts are de facto reasonable. Instead, in keeping with the
unconscionability framework set forth by the Supreme Court in Rayford v American House
Roseville I, LLC, ___ Mich ___; ___ NW3d ___ (2025) (Docket No. 163989), I would remand this
case to the trial court for further briefing and argument. As the majority notes, unconscionability
was never addressed by the parties in the prior proceedings. A remand for full briefing and
argument would better allow the appellate courts to address whether, in this particular context, the
arbitration provision is procedurally or substantively unconscionable.
