Today, the Supreme Court overturned a previous ruling made by a southern California court stating that customer's were entitled to join with others in bringing a class-action claim against a company.
"Justice Antonin Scalia said companies may require buyers to sign arbitration agreements, and those agreements may preclude class-action claims. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. formed the majority.
Scalia said companies like arbitration because it is efficient and less costly. "Arbitration is poorly suited to the higher stakes of class litigation," he said."
Is it just me, or is this ridiculously unfair?
