On Jan. 5, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit issued a decision answering the question of whether language in an arbitration clause referencing “the rules of the American Arbitration Association” was sufficient to rebut the presumption that the court, not the arbitrator, decided whether a class action arbitration was agreed to by the parties, as in Chesapeake Appalachia v.
