Except that it's probably prohibitively difficult to convince 10,000 people individually to go to the hassle of filing an arbitration action just to get a small amount of money. I could be wrong, but I don't see this being a realistic method of going after companies for contract violations at all.
- DannyBee 13y ago1. You've just explained what exactly is wrong with class action lawsuits too - they claim to represent 10k people, but roughly all of those people actually aren't very involved at all, even though someone is claiming to represent them. 2. Unlike class actions, you can actually make it fairly easily to arbitrate, or you could compute the value of their claim, and then pay them half to do it for them.
- tptacek 13y agoYou don't think you could get 10,000 people to sign up to a web app that offers them free money and demands only that they sign the equivalent of petitions?
- makomk 13y agoDon't forget that filing an arbitration case almost always requires paying a fee of some kind.
