Class Action vs. Arbitration: Does TILA Support Class Actions in Arbitration Where Statutory Rights are Concerned - Johnson v. West Suburban Bank

Authors

Christina S. Lewis

Abstract

Johnson v. West Suburban Bank is an important case in American jurisprudence because it combines several United States Supreme Court cases to establish a test for whether arbitration provisions relating to statutory rights should be upheld when they essentially preclude class actions. This Casenote will examine the progression the courts have taken and Johnson's subsequent test. Finally, an evaluation of this test will follow.
