SCOTUS: Coinbase v. Suski - Coinbase arbitration dispute

WASHINGTON, Nov 3 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear a dispute over Coinbase's (COIN.O) effort to move a dispute with users of the cryptocurrency exchange out of courts and into private arbitration, which businesses often prefer over litigation.

The justices took up Coinbase's appeal of a lower court's ruling that the trading platform had effectively waived its right to arbitrate a dispute stemming from a 2021 sweepstakes that users later alleged was false advertising.

In their second case this month under the Federal Arbitration Act, the justices will hear oral argument on Wednesday in Coinbase v. Suski. The case follows in a well-worn track of the justices’ arbitration cases. It begins when a business enters into an arbitration agreement with one of its customers. Later, when the parties fall into dispute, the business tries to enforce the agreement, arguing that the FAA compels enforcement. Instead, a court (often a California state court or the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, appeals court in California) refuses to send the dispute to arbitration. In the great majority of those cases, the justices disagree and reverse the decision of the lower court protecting the customer from arbitration.
