Well, FWIW, IMO, it makes good sense from a legal & financial POV for a business to limit & submit matters in dispute to binding arbitration, which is a trial of a sort in itself & which is designed to be fair to all parties in a dispute.
And, FWIW, as a retired litigation attorney, who worked for a big SF firm that defended deep monied clients in class action suits & jury trials, in my experience, I can say that the parties who usually "win" the most in such actions are the attorneys & law firms because such matters ultimately are settled out of court after years of very expensive (for the clients) discovery & motions practice to delay & protract the litigation that generates MILLIONS of $$$ in billable time & legal fees for the attorneys & law firms which comes out of the pockets of the plaintiffs & defendants. 🤷🏻♂️

@sgt1372@sfba.social @drahardja@sfba.social designed to be fair to all parties? Since when? Typically the arbitrator is selected by the business and paid by the business.
