In cases where the arbitration clause is already in place, and the arbitrations have been filed, that would likely be difficult to do, as a result of the Alsup ruling. Where the arbitrations haven't begun yet, there's certainly some scope for attempting to neutralize this, by changing provider or terms. Interestingly, there's a potential conflict-of-interest brewing [1] around whether DoorDash's lawyers were so tightly involved in the writing of the CPR's rules, that the CPR sought their approval before publishing them [2]... If that is the case, things could start to get quite interesting indeed, particularly for CPR, who are not looking in a particularly good light after discovery in the case. > The documents in the case were unsealed on Wednesday, revealing that the defendants were so involved in the protocol that CPR would not publish it until DoorDash and its lawyers gave the go ahead, including a sign off on the fee structure by DoorDash’s head of litigation, Gregg Farano. In his written approval of the Protocol in an Oct. 31 email to Waxman, Farano asked that CPR let him know when the new rules were published “so that we may link to it in our terms and conditions.” Alsup certainly seems to think there's something worth the public knowing about here [3]: > Judge Alsup also said the public deserves to see the CPR emails, since the material “would be useful to the public in evaluating the true extent to which (CPR) is impartial.” [1] https://www.law.com/therecorder/2019/12/20/gibson-dunn-doordashs-ties-to-new-mass-arbitration-protocol-can-be-explored-judge-says/ https://www.law.com/therecorder/2019/12/20/gibson-dunn-doord...
