Proposed Legislation re Enforceability of Mandatory Arbitration Clauses

Proposed legislation aims to curb mandatory arbitration clauses in contracts.  In mid July, 2008, the House of Representatives’ Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law approved three arbitration-related bills, including the Arbitration Fairness Act which, if passed, would ban pre-dispute arbitration clauses outright.  The other two bills would ban mandatory arbitration agreements in contracts involving automobile sales and nursing homes.  The Senate Judiciary Committee is considering its own legislation concerning nursing home arbitration.
