What are the limitations on discovery under the California Civil Procedure Code of Civil Procedure?

Epstein does not claim these limitations are, per se , substantively unconscionable. Indeed, "limitation on discovery is one important component of the simplicity, informality, and expedition of arbitration. " ( Armendariz, supra, 24 Cal.4th at p. 106, fn. 11, 99 Cal.Rptr.2d 745, 6 P.3d 669.) And parties are "permitted to agree to something less than the full panoply of discovery provided in [the] Code of Civil Procedure...." ( Id . at pp. 105, 106, 99 Cal.Rptr.2d 745, 6 P.3d 669, italics omitted; see Coast Plaza Doctors Hospital v. Blue Cross of California (2000) 83 Cal.App.4th 677, 689690, 99 Cal.Rptr.2d 809 [limitations on discovery not substantively unconscionable].)
