Lamps Plus, Inc., Petitioners v. Frank Varela — Thomas, J., Concurring

Summary

Justice Thomas concurs in the Court’s judgment that the arbitration agreement between Lamps Plus and Varela does not permit class arbitration, emphasizing that silence on class arbitration cannot be read as consent and that California’s contra proferentem rule conflicts with the FAA. He joins the majority because it correctly applies FAA precedents, while noting his own reasoning on the agreement’s terms.
