Once again, Federal Appeals court goes against what is LAW and opts for feelings & personal opinions/beliefs. Another to go up to the Supreme Court. You'd think the SCOTUS would get tired of lower courts not doing their jobs because all it does is make their caseload heavier with each year.
I tend to agree with the ruling this method of Taxi service is trusting a stranger to give you a ride! my mother always told me every take rides from strangers! they lay it out for you! you're accepting the risk! the app is just the avenue to connect! why should they uber be held responsible for two adults formulating a transaction! uber is the equivalent of sticking out your thumb out on the side of a highway.
I lemoned a car and had to use arbitration. It is written into the sale of the vehicle contract. I won. It's not that hard. They told me - it's simple - they have to prove the tried to remedy the problem, which they didn't. It was a no brainer once I knew what to focus on when filing.
Arbitration is nothing more than another tool for the Corporations and Courts to stick it to the Consumer / Taxpayer.
