Below is the CPR Institute's roundup of coverage of yesterday's U.S. Supreme Court class arbitration decision, American Express Co. v. Italian Colors Restaurant, No. 12–133 (June 20, 2012)(available here).
That means that the original plaintiffs--restaurants and merchants--in an antitrust case against American Express over the charge card's merchant fees will have to arbitrate their cases individually, rather than as a class.
The class arbitration area is controversial for both business and consumer interests, who respectively, lauded and vilified the decision. You'll see both sides below.
The CPR Institute's coverage of the opinion appears here, and analysis of the dissent here.
The starting place for the roundups is Supreme Court watcher Scotusblog, which collected articles, include the CPR Institute's, here, and provided analysis on the spot yesterday, as well as this morning.
"In today's decision, the court continued its strong support for individual arbitration, and expanded its views strongly disfavoring class processes. And it may have set the stage for corrective legislation. Also, the court may have previewed its view on a significant remaining category of arbitration class actions likely coming next term, in the employment area. [Justice Elena Kagan's] dissent notes that the opinion disallows plaintiffs' cost-sharing, even outside of formal class processes. One of the employer's justifications in a pending Fifth Circuit case for allowing its workplace class arbitration waiver is that workers may act concertedly to put on their cases."
