2016 saw many developments in the arbitration world. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau proposed its long-awaited arbitration rule; the Supreme Court accepted another case involving the preemptive power of the Federal Arbitration Act over state laws; several anti-arbitration bills were again introduced in Congress; the Department of Labor finalized a fiduciary rule for those offering retirement investment advice; and FINRA went to work evaluating and implementing the FINRA’s Dispute Resolution Task Force’s 51 recommendations to improve the process.
