What is a class action arbitration?

A class action arbitration is a type of legal resolution process in which a group of people collectively bring an action against a defendant. This form of arbitration is often used when a large group of individuals have been impacted by the defendant’s wrongdoing but filing separate lawsuits would be too expensive and time-consuming. In Nevada, lawyers representing the group of individuals (plaintiffs) bring the class action suit against the defendant. The defendant and the attorneys representing the plaintiffs enter into an arbitration agreement that outlines how the dispute will be decided. During the arbitration, each side will present evidence and arguments to a third-party arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision is legally binding. Class action arbitration is a useful tool to ensure that a group of individuals have their grievances heard and their cases addressed in a timely and cost-effective manner. By using class action arbitration, the plaintiffs can also avoid long and costly court proceedings. As a result, class action arbitration is a popular form of alternative dispute resolution in Nevada.
