In case anyone is interested I've been compiling as much factual information on arbitration here. Not yet complete but reasonably useful and well sourced. I've posted this here before, but now it has a new website: https://arbitrationinformation.org/docs/problems/ https://arbitrationinformation.org/docs/problems/
- kstrauser 3y agoWhile I confess I didn't read all that, thanks for putting this together! TL;DR the advantages lean overwhelmingly toward the company and away from the individual. As the end user of a service, there's nearly no reason I'd want to go to arbitration. For small matters, I'd rather go to small claims court. For larger matters, I'd prefer to hire an attorney on contingency.
- hakfoo 3y agoThe fascinating thing is how desperate business is to avoid legal precedent. Arbitration doesn't create one. Class action suits inevitably end with a settlement with an explicit "we don't admit wrongdoing but will cut a cheque to settle the matter." It's as though the entire capitalist experiment will come crashing down if a court ever emits a formal and binding "Don't."
