The significant developments in US arbitration law during the
past year include a continuing attempt by the courts to define the
extent, if any, to which 'class' arbitrations, conducted by
representative claimants on behalf of others on a collective basis,
will find a place in US arbitral jurisprudence. Such cases arise
most often in the context of consumer or franchisee cases that have
few international aspects. But since US arbitration law is largely
uniform in its application to both domestic and international
cases, the effect of the resolution of these issues is likely to be
significant for both.
