AT&T Arbitration Clause Ruled Unconscionable

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the new-contracts-just-ask-to-surrender-all-rights dept.

Tech.Luver writes to tell us the Consumerist is reporting that a small clause in AT&T contracts has been ruled "unconscionable" by the 9th circuit court of appeals. The clause in question stated that if you use AT&T service you surrender your right to class action lawsuits and instead have to participate in mandatory binding arbitration.

    Actually, 100% of contracts are a waiver of some rights by one or both parties. This is so blatantly bullshit that I feel sad for the person that paid for your studies, if you're a law student.
