United States Supreme Court
American Express Co. v. Italian Colors Restaurant, 12-133
The Federal Arbitration Act does not permit courts to invalidate a contractual waiver of class arbitration on the ground that the plaintiffs' cost of individually arbitrating a federal statutory claim exceeds the potential recovery, and therefore the Second Circuit's holding that the class-action waiver in this matter was unenforceable and arbitration of plaintiffs' antitrust claims could not proceed, is reversed.
