#BringATrailer just amended their ToS to include #BindingArbitration with no possibility of class action or jury trial, without a way to exclude yourself. This shit should be illegal. Denying consumers the right to access the justice system is by definition denying them of justice. https://bringatrailer.com/terms-of-use/usa/#dispute-resolution

@drahardja@sfba.social 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. 🤷🏻‍♂️
