Country:
A class action lawsuit filed in Madison County Circuit Court will now be arbitrated, as a result of an appellate court decision. The appeals court has voted to Verizon's motion to compel arbitration and stay judicial proceedings.
The suit arises out of a dispute over cancellation fees between Verizon and named plaintiff Dawn Zobrist. When Zobrist became a Verizon customer in July 2001, she entered into a two-year service plan. Zobrist cancelled service in March 2002, and Verizon billed her $175 for a cancellation penalty which Zobrist claims she paid "under protest." The suit seeks financial and other damages.
