Arbitration

A forced arbitration clause is a get-out-of-jail card that takes away consumers’ day in court, forcing them into a tribunal that is often biased, secretive, and lawless. These clauses often contain class action bans that prevent consumers from banding together. Forced arbitration frequently blocks any relief whatsoever. NCLC is a member of the Fair Arbitration Now coalition and works to oppose forced arbitration and class action bans.
