This recent development discusses the Supreme Court’s decision in Green Tree v Bazzle. This opinion placed the decision of whether to permit class- wide arbitration in the hands of arbitrators, rather than the courts. The holding resolved an issue that created a split between the federal circuits as well as state courts. The decision in Green Tree was based on two sources of law: the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) and a line of Supreme Court decisions regarding arbitration.
