Consumer Arbitration Update

by Editors on July 27, 2005

Morrison and Foerster LLP reports on recent developments in consumer arbitration that may change the way your company uses standard form agreements:

"A case decided by the California Supreme Court may have marked the end of the use of arbitration as a means of dispute resolution for companies that do business with consumers using standard form contracts. Now, a company that uses consumer arbitration as a method of dispute resolution in California runs a significant risk that it may be forced to undertake classwide arbitration—something virtually no company has agreed to do, and something most are loathe to do without the protections afforded by a judicial proceeding."
