Ballard Spahr Alert: Reasonable Notice to Consumer Required for Enforcement of Arbitration Clause
Addressing an important contract-formation issue that has divided federal courts, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania recently denied a company's motion to compel arbitration because the consumer was not given "reasonable notice" of the arbitration clause. The court in Jones v.

None of the Booklet's section headings referred to arbitration. .
