United States Supreme Court Decision Has Major Impact On Contractors And Other Employers
On April 27, 2011, the United States Supreme Court decided the case of AT&T v. Concepcion, ruling that arbitration agreements can require the waiver of the right to bring a class action in arbitration. The Court’s ruling invalidated California’s previous prohibition against such waivers in arbitration agreements. Because the Court’s reasoning was based on contract law and its broad application of the Federal Arbitration Act, the Concepcion decision may have a major impact on the approach contractors and employers now take when drafting arbitration agreements.
