Moral Here Is To Pursue Arbitration If You Elect To Do So.

            Mike Hensley, my co-contributor on the calattorneysfees.com website, has done a recent post about N.D. Cal. U.S. District James Donato’s July 24, 2018 order in which he will be imposing yet-to-be-sought sanctions against Fitbit and its defense counsel in a consumer action. District Judge Donato decided that the defense conduct in compelling arbitration and then announcing a decision not to pursue it justified “inherent by the court” sanctions to control bad-faith litigation conduct. Mike’s full post tells it all, including the district court’s colorful passage indicating why many people, including judges, are skeptical about arbitration agreements.
