New Jersey Supreme Court Associate Justice Fabiana Pierre-Louis penned an opinion Wednesday reversing the Appellate Division’s bright-line rule invalidating all class action waivers not accompanied by arbitration provisions.

The state high court considered the specific class action waiver at issue in this case, as well as the Appellate Division’s holding that class action waivers in consumer contracts that do not contain mandatory arbitration provisions are contrary to public policy and therefore unenforceable, according to the opinion.
