The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of Samsung Electronics, reversing a previous decision that would have required the company to pay $4M in arbitration fees. The case involved 35,000 consumers who claimed that Samsung had illegally collected their biometric data. The court determined that the plaintiffs had not provided sufficient proof of valid arbitration agreements, and that courts cannot compel companies to pay initial arbitration fees. This ruling represents a significant win for Samsung in the ongoing mass arbitration battle.
