Uber will not be able to force a blind man into arbitration, after a Massachusetts court reversed a decision over his discrimina

Uber's terms and conditions were not presented clearly enough, according to the ruling. Mike Blake/Reuters Massachusetts' highest court on Monday reversed a decision allowing Uber to settle a discrimination lawsuit in arbitration. The case was brought by Christopher Kauders, a blind man who was denied service by three Uber drivers because of his guide dog. Uber in 2018 won the right to settle the case in arbitration because its terms and conditions said it could do so, but the court ruled they hadn't been prominent enough to constitute a binding contract.
