Trump - NAHB Homebuilders Shoddy Construction and Forced Arbitration

 

Outrageous! Buy a New Home - Don’t Sue and Shut Up
Homebuilders will stop at nothing – Now Buyers must agree not to Speak

Arbitration Should Stand on it's Own
Tuesday, 28 May 2002

"Arbitration clauses should be removed from new home contracts as a prerequisite
to purchasing the home. Only when a dispute arises should the owner be given the option of binding arbitration instead of the current court system. Only when the extra fees, rules, procedures, and backgrounds of the arbitrators are openly disclosed to the homeowner can they make a reasonable and educated decision."

"Disclosure of the facts to reach an informed choice will allow binding arbitration to stand on it's own or fall on it's farce."

Sunday, 19 May 2002
