Abstract
The article focuses on the critical issues experienced in the US legal system, as a consequence of a series of Supreme Court decisions which reveal a high propensity to enforce mandatory individual arbitration clauses. This led, with respect to disputes between contractual parties, to the marginalization of both class action and class arbitration. Then, taking inspiration from the dissenting opinion by Justice Ginsburg in DirecTV v. Imburgia, which pointed to Europe as a model to emulate, the author compares the two experiences, observing that, on the European side, the rules on unfair terms, as well as those on ADR, can really minimize, at least for consumers, the risk of being systematically deprived of the right to have a day in court; however, what is still unsatisfactory is the way in which collective redress mechanisms are shaped.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
