Re: National Arbitration Forum

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.
