  • Descrição: Over the past decade, the U.S. Supreme Court's decisions on the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) have increasingly favored mandatory arbitration clauses. This shift has concerned consumer protection groups, as predispute arbitration clauses deny access to important procedural rights, such as the right to an open forum. Because the Court has rejected direct attempts to disfavor arbitration agreements relative to other contracts, state courts and legislatures have looked to alternative methods of expanding access to judicial forums for consumer protection claims. Recently, in the facially unrelated case of 'White v. Square, Inc.', the California Supreme Court held that plaintiffs have standing to bring claims under the Unruh Civil Rights Act (Unruh Act) against online service providers without entering into an agreement if the plaintiff intends to use the website's services but is deterred by discriminatory terms of service. Although the White decision was focused on standing under the Unruh Act, it continued a trend across state courts and legislatures of expanding consumer remedies while evading increasingly pervasive arbitration clauses in businesses' adhesion contracts. Nonetheless, whether White will truly expand access to courts for those who have signed arbitration agreements will depend heavily on further legal developments.
