Cingular's Class Arbitration Waiver Ruled "Unconscionable" By 9th Circuit
Court Of Appeals

"Like many many companies, Cingular has a little thing in their contracts
saying that if you use their service, you void your right to a class
action lawsuit and instead have to go through "mandatory binding
arbitration," which is basically an extra-judicial corporate court exempt
from many of the basic rules and laws and procedures and rights of real
court. Well, today, that clause was ruled "unconscionable" by the 9th
Circuit Court Of Appeals. Therefore, lawsuits can proceed against Cingular
and go to real court, not monkey court. Hooray!"

Let the dominoes fall.
