Mass contracts between consumers or employees and large corporations increasingly include clauses that require binding arbitration for all disputes and a bar on class action litigation. These provisions are included in contracts for cell phones, credit cards, and employment among others. The affects of the bar on class actions in these contracts shield the corporations from liability for damages for small dollar amounts.
