Report Link New Massachusetts Decision Finds that General Arbitration Provisions Do Not Cover Discrimination Claims.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - August 20, 2009 The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court recently answered the long-standing question of whether parties may enter into contracts that provide for the arbitration of future claims under Massachusetts' antidiscrimination statute, known as Chapter 151B. In Warfield v. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc., the court held that claims under Chapter 151B are arbitrable. Significantly, however, the court also held that agreements to arbitrate such claims must be stated in "clear and unmistakable terms" in order to be enforceable. In the absence of such "clear and unmistakable terms," Massachusetts courts will not compel the arbitration of claims arising under Chapter 151B.
