FAQ

The Federal Arbitration Act provides that the enforceability of an arbitration agreement, is determined using generally applicable contract defenses, such as fraud, duress, or unconscionability. Under California law, a contract signed under economic duress may be rescinded.

This means that any disputes between customers and banks over account fees, identity theft, or other charges will be decided by an arbitrator that the bank helps choose, rather than an impartial judge.

Arbitration can be binding (which means the participants must follow the arbitrator's decision and courts will enforce it) or nonbinding (meaning either party is free to reject the arbitrator's decision and take the dispute to court, as if the arbitration had never taken place). Binding arbitration is more common.

The arbitration agreement is valid only if signed by parties with full civil act capacity, and such parties must be competent, specifically: (i) A person with full civil act capacity is at least 18 years old and does not lose or limit her/his civil act capacity or difficulties in perception, mastery of acts.

A mandatory arbitration agreement should identify the rules, procedures, and evidentiary guidelines to be applied. Many agreements opt for a particular forum's rules and procedures. If there are any rules that the parties want to opt out of (e.g., a limitation on discovery), state as much in the arbitration agreement.

Furthermore, you usually can't appeal an arbitration agreement. Therefore, if you feel like the arbitrator's decision is unfair or wrong, you don't have the right to have the appellate court take a second look at it. You are bound by the decision of the arbitrator.

First, any valid arbitration agreement must reflect the conscious, mutual and free will of the parties to resort to arbitration and not to other means of dispute resolution, including State courts. The consent of both parties to submit their dispute to arbitration is the cornerstone of arbitration.

Takeaway. When there is any dispute as to the validity of an arbitration agreement, parties shall decide whether they should go to the court or the arbitral tribunal by considering whether it is clear on the evidence and the construction of the agreements on the question of jurisdiction.

These include: An arbitrator lacked jurisdiction to award, such as when the subject matter of the dispute cannot be arbitrated; The issue or dispute is not covered by a valid arbitration agreement, such as when there is an issue the parties did not agree to arbitrate; The arbitration was tainted by fraud; and/or.

Unconscionable Arbitration Agreements Will Not Be Enforced You can also escape an arbitration agreement by demonstrating that the terms of the agreement itself are inherently unequal in favor of the employer. Courts require both of the aforementioned methods to show the agreement is unconscionable, thus unenforceable.
