Supreme Court to hear DirecTV arbitration appeal
Mar 23 2015, 10:58 ET | By: Jason Aycock, SA News Editor
A California case over DirecTV's (NASDAQ
TV) enforcement of arbitration clauses is headed for the Supreme Court.
A state appeals court had ruled that customers of the satellite provider weren't bound by a provision in the service agreement requiring private arbitration of disputes rather than class actions.
The case goes back to class-action suits filed in 2008 over cancellation fees. DirecTV says the appeals court ruling conflicts with one it won on the matter in U.S. Circuit Court.
