US District Court ME: Maine’s Equal Pay Law, 26 M.R.S. § 628, which states in part that an “employer may not discriminate between employees . . . on the basis of sex by paying [unequal wages] for comparable work…,” does not require a showing of discriminatory intent
Law Court: Uber’s “sign-in wrap” arbitration agreement for users was unenforceable because, unlike “clickwrap” or “scrollwrap” online contracts that require an affirmative manifestation of assent by the user, its “sign-in wrap” agreement simply informed the user that she was assenting to the terms by creating an Uber rider account and did not provide reasonable notice of its terms or that she was assenting to those terms
Law Court: “In this case, we address the First Circuit Court of Appeals’ order certifying a question of law to us: ‘Should [Investor Business Daily’s] special motion to dismiss be granted under Me. Rev. Stat. tit. 14, § 556 (Maine’s anti-SLAPP law)?’ Because there is clear controlling precedent, we decline to consider the question.”
