Good to know. I never made the distinction myself. Then again I do wonder, isn't sexual assault/harassment a matter for criminal courts? Who decides?

- purple-again 8y agoThe assault and the assaulter are a criminal matter for the courts. Suing Uber for damages because the assaulter was an agent of theirs at the time (probably for enabling the assault with bad policy or something else related to the company) is a matter for arbitration.
- smallbigfish 8y agoMy simple logic then says we should sue those who bought Volkswagen, VW itself just had a "bad policy". My question still stands though, who decides it's just bad policy and it's not in fact hiding/helping/aiding the criminal?
- gowld 8y agoThe State can prosecute a case if someone is accused of "aiding and abetting" another's criminal act, or of "conspiring" to commit the crime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiding_and_abetting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiding_and_abetting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy
- s73v3r_ 8y agoIt is, however, someone not super well versed in contract law might assume that this arbitration clause covers that as well, and feel they would be unable to go to the police, too.
