Wolf Haldenstein Senior Partner Mark Rifkin discusses the ruling by Supreme Court justices ruled that courts shouldn’t allow class arbitration unless an agreement clearly authorizes that type of proceeding, siding with a lighting retailer trying to prevent its employees from pressing group claims stemming from a phishing attack. It’s the latest in a line of Supreme Court decisions that have backed arbitration and helped companies avoid the prospect of costly class actions filed by workers and consumers. He speaks to Bloomberg's June Grasso.
