The arbitration agreement found inside a loan app company’s “clickwrap agreement” provided sufficient notice to enforce arbitration, a Pennsylvania federal judge recently ruled, finding that last year’s state appellate ruling raising the standard for enforcing such agreements was “flawed.”
U.S. District Judge Susan Rose Paradise Baxter of the Western District of Pennsylvania on Friday rejected a proposed class action’s efforts to render the arbitration agreement unenforceable in a lawsuit, Happy v. Marlette Funding. The ruling is a win for the defendant in the case, Marlette Funding, which does business as the personal loan app Best Egg.
