In a petition for a writ of mandamus to overturn trial court’s order compelling petitioners to arbitrate their claims against respondents, the petition is granted where the paragraphs in the account agreements at issue requiring arbitration before a panel of three arbitrators and prohibiting consolidation or joinder of claims were unconscionable and therefore unenforceable.
