Chronicles Of Elyria Class-Action Proceeds In Washington, Xsolla Arbitration Deferred
The divided into two separate complaints back in July. For those following the proceedings, you’ll that the Xsolla part of the lawsuit was moved to non-class arbitration in California per the company’s of Service, while Soulbound Studios’ part was moved to the studio’s home state of Washington.
The latest update is that the Xsolla arbitration has been deferred until after the Soulbound Studios lawsuit is a done deal.
“District Court in the central district of California ruled that due to the choice of law clause in Soulbound’s EULA contract the class action may proceed but, will have to proceed in district court in the western district of Washington. I already have made my appearance in court there and we are moving forward against Soulbound in the class action,” said the plaintiffs’ attorneys on the dedicated class-action Discord.
“District Court in the central district of California granted Xsolla’s motion to compel arbitration. This means that the named Plaintiff, James Falls, claims will need to be arbitrated. However, the Court ruled to stay (put on hold) Mr. Falls’ arbitration until the Soulbound class action is concluded. The court did not rule on whether the entire class needs to be arbitrated.”
In response to the ruling, the attorneys are planning to put the screws to Xsolla to force them to go into arbitration, at additional expense to the plaintiffs.
“NEXT STEPS: I want to flood Xsolla with hundreds of demands to arbitrate. As such, please check discord next week because no later than Friday Sept. 10, 2021, I will post a fee agreement with my firm that I hope each of you will consider g. This will allow my team to put as much pressure on Xsolla as we can while still litigating the class action against Souldbound,” they said.
