This is true with any arbitration. If you sue someone it costs about $500 to get the case started in a government subsidized court. In private arbitration, it costs about $1,500. The person initiating the case has to pay, not the defendant. In this case, the drivers are initiating the cases so must pay the initial filing fee.
- jeffdavis 8y agoDoesn't it depend on the terms of the arbitration clause inthe contract?
- briffle 8y agothat is not how the current contract is written, and if the drivers did have to pay, then it would be assumed that they would get to pick the aribters to be used.
- joshuaheard 8y agoI haven't read the contract. Typically, an arbitration service can be named, in this case JAMS, but who pays the filing fee is not in the contract, since it's usually the one initiating the arbitration.
