Supreme Court of the United States

Compucredit Corp. v. Greenwood — Ginsburg, J., Dissenting

January 10, 2012132 S. Ct. 665

Summary

Justice Ginsburg dissents, arguing that the Credit Repair Organizations Act’s nonwaivable “right to sue” guarantees a consumer’s right to bring a lawsuit in court, not to submit to arbitration, and would affirm the Ninth Circuit’s judgment rejecting arbitration. She contends that the majority’s reading misreads the statute’s purpose and undermines consumer protection.
