An important case will be reviewed before the Supreme Court today. AT&T Mobility Services v. Conception could have a very serious effect on the ability to file class action suits in the future.
If the Court finds that the Federal Arbitration Act pre-empts State contract law, and allows Class Action Exemptions to contracts, this could be the end of all Class Action Suits in the future.
If the Court were to allow these Class Action Exemptions, this would enable Big Businesses to escape accountability and leave the consumer or employee without recourse since their case is too small for any attorney to take on an individual basis.
