11th Circuit Court recognizes arbitration provision under the Dodd-Frank Act ([link removed] )
The United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit published a decision last month holding that the Dodd-Frank Act “does not prohibit the enforceability of delegation clauses contained in consumer arbitration agreements ‘in any way.’” In this case of Attix. v. Carrington Mortgage Services, LLC., the 11th Circuit Court reversed a decision from the U.S. District Court denying Carrington’s motion to compel arbitration. This opinion remains significant because it is one of the first appellate decisions in the country concerning the Dodd-Frank Act’s arbitration provision.
