Do companies use binding mandatory arbitration in their own disputes with other companies?
No, most refuse to use binding mandatory arbitration in their own business dealings. As a matter of fact, car dealers were so afraid of mandatory arbitration for their own disagreements that they spent millions lobbying Congressmen and Senators to pass a federal law that prohibits automobile manufacturers from requiring binding mandatory arbitration in disputes related to dealership franchise clauses. The law passed in 2002.
