SPEAKER AND SUBJECT – Brian Bromberg, Esq., Forced Arbitration
.
SUMMARY OF TALK
Forced arbitration clauses appear in every day products like credit cards and bank accounts. If you have an issue like an unexpected charge then the clause requires you to arbitrate rather than litigate the issue. Disputes can be settled by a Rabbi who is trusted by both sides. In the absence of a forced arbitration clause, a common issue can be litigated in a class action in court. A late payment charge may come in after the payment. Beware of forced arbitration clauses.
