Logan v. Country Oaks Partners

Holding

The court held that a health‑care agent appointed under California’s Health Care Decisions Law does **not** possess the authority to bind the principal to an optional arbitration agreement, because such an agreement falls outside the statutory definition of a “health‑care decision” and is not contemplated by the language of the advance directive. Accordingly, the trial court’s denial of Country Oaks’ petition to compel arbitration was affirmed. ---
