Another ruling against mandatory arbitration clauses

Hi there! If you're new to the site, you may want to subscribe to the the feed.

Early last month, a judge ruled that the provision in T-Mobile’s contract that mandated arbitration was “unconscionable” and “unenforceable.” Last week, a judge ruled similarly with Cingular/AT&T’s contract, allowing disgruntled customers to band together and sue the company as a class. Or, as Consumerist puts it: “Therefore, lawsuits can proceed against Cingular and go to real court, not monkey court. Hooray!”
