In the July, 2018 Bloomberg Law article titled "Uber Pushed Arbitration Too Far," Partner Liz Kramer provides thoughts on the Cullinane v. Uber Techs., Inc. case.
In this case, Uber moved to compel arbitration of a class action complaint based on its terms and conditions which contained an arbitration clause. The district court granted the motion, but the First Circuit deemed the terms of agreement were not sufficiently clear to plaintiffs and therefore reversed the decision.
Liz comments the fact that an earlier, similar matter for Uber reached the opposite result, and predicts that the parties involved in this recent case will be preparing for potential review by the U.S. Supreme Court.
