Supreme Court finds arbitration agreement obscure; sides with NJSBA argument
The Supreme Court held that an arbitration agreement within a consumer contract that contained “debatable, confusing, and contradictory” and “misleading” language was unenforceable. The New Jersey State Bar Association advocated this position as amicus curiae in the matter of Kernahan v. Home Warranty Administrator of Florida, Inc., Docket No. A-15-17.
