How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that statute’s references to class actions did not demonstrate legislative intent to exempt class claims from arbitration agreements
- holding that federal statutory claims are arbitrable even if class-action mechanism is unavailable
- finding that class action waivers in arbitration proceedings do not “necessarily choke off the supply of lawyers willing to pursue claims on behalf of debtors”
- finding that EFTA class action claim was subject to arbitration pursuant to the parties’ agreement
- rejecting argument that arbitration should be precluded because it rendered class actions to enforce federal statutes unavailable, in absence of any indication of congressional intent
- finding provisions in TILA and EFTA to have the same meaning because \Congress would [not] have different intended meanings for identical statutory language contained in similar statutes\
