Re: National Arbitration Forum
Posted by Mark on 7/07/04

    It depends on what you mean by due process violations. NAF
    is currently being sued in California for violating
    California's unfair competition law, Business and Professions
    Code section 17200 (the UCL) by refusing to comply with
    California Code of Civil Procedure section 1281.96, which
    requires private arbitration entities to make certain
    disclosures to assist individual consumers. (The case was
    filed in state court but has been removed by NAF to the US
    District Court for the District of Northern California.)
    Class actions and representative actions are also being
    considered for alleged violation of the UCL by implementing
    and subjecting California consumer litigants to its Code of
    Procedure, which favors corporate litigants and so-
    called "repeat players," i.e., corporate entities that use
    NAF repeatedly. UCL actins are also being considered for
    financial institutions that have unilaterally imposed on
    consumers arbitration provisions that require consumers to
    litigate all claims before NAF.
