Susan Fowler files amicus briefs to challenge class action waivers

In my country, arbitration is NOT legally binding. That said, the court ruling is often the same but much more onerous costly and time consuming. Thus arbitration rulings are accepted 9 out of 10 times.

The ability to take it to court keeps arbitration fair. Without that stick the carrot of simpler faster rulings wouldn't taste as sweet for long.

Which country would that be? As far as I know majority of the countries are signatories of New York Convention [1] which makes arbitration binding.

That is AFAIK for international arbitrations, does not affect "domestic" ones.
