Tenth Circuit: Nesbitt v. FCNH

Arbitration

An opt-out clause in the agreement only speaks to the threshold question of scope of arbitration, and does not forestall an exemption from compulsory arbitration in order to effectively vindicate a claim.

Giver internal inconsistencies in the agreement and incorporated rules, a plaintiff might justifiably refrain from pursuing a claim, given the uncertainty of eventual reimbursement.
