Whether users of Uber’s ride-hailing app have proper notice that they are waiving their right to a jury trial when they register and later decide to sue the company’s service will be a central issue in oral arguments before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Friday.
The court is hearing Uber Technologies Inc.’s appeal from Southern District Judge Jed Rakoff’s ruling last year in Meyer v. Kalanick, 15-cv-9796, a price-fixing lawsuit against the company and CEO Travis Kalanick that it could not compel the plaintiff, Spencer Meyer, into arbitration.
