New law lets creditors cut court costs

Article Abstract:

The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) was passed by Congress to provide guidance to transactions involving interstate commerce. However, while it was widely thought to govern consumer transactions, the US Supreme Court has been silent on the law's application on a contract between a business and a consumer. The Court was compelled to clarify this issue in the 'Allied-Bruce Terminix Cos. Inc. vs. Dobson' case. In this case, it overturned the Alabama Supreme Court's decision to prohibit the use of arbitration to resolve the case. The US Supreme Court established that the FAA applies to all arbitration agreements concerned with interstate commercial transactions and that this law has primacy over contrary anti-arbitration state laws.
