Situation: Arbitration provisions in standard consumer and employment contracts provide a simple and informal way to resolve relatively small disputes. Consumers and employees benefit from a quick, inexpensive and convenient resolution. The business achieves greater certainty and lower legal costs by reducing the risks from litigation and, in particular, lawyer-driven class action lawsuits that do little to benefit the putative clients.
