Byron Allen’s claims against McDonald’s for discrimination against Black-owned networks in its placement of advertising survives a motion for summary judgment, just barely alleging a claim and just barely overcoming McDonald’s attempts to justify its ad strategies.
NY’s Court of Appeals sends a claim subject to a default judgment to arbitration because, although Uber failed to answer the complaint, it did update its terms of service and provided that its arbitration clause applies to pending claims.

From time to time, we bring you news from the world of COVID-related business interruption insurance claims (don’t tell my 18-year-old self that this is how I spend my time). They are rarely wins, and this one is a two-time loser.
In today’s Reefer Brief, a web optimization deal did not go well. Much of the opinion was taken up with whether the amount in controversy requirement for diversity jurisdiction was satisfied. Breach of contract seems clear.
As reported by @kirstengrind.bsky.social in @nytimes.com, Bryan Johnson’s long-life start-up Blueprint and his “Don’t Die” religion are protected through non-disclosure agreements. Freud had a joke for this situation.

FDA promulgated a click-to-cancel regulation. I doubt much will come of that for a while, but New York is enforcing its version of the law against Sirium XM, which requires that users listen to a sales pitch from a live agent before quitting.

Relying on recent SCOTUS precedent, 10th Circuit upholds ruling that a baked-goods distributor works in interstate commerce and is thus exempt from the Federal Arbitration Act and that allowing for state arbitration would be “inconsistent” with that act. Zounds.
Tell me this is not all at the direction of #putin. The #Trump administration has terminated more than 5,300 #grants and #contracts managed by the U.S. Agency for International Development #USAID worth more than $27 billion, according to a document obtained by POLITICO. https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000195-d4ba-dc7d-add5-f6fe93e40000 #foreign #aid #statedepartment #budget #vaccines #food #healthcare #HIV #AIDS
Since #TRUMP has taken 'power'
#America has lost hundreds of thousands of Billions
in #International #contracts, #bonds, #Investments
(and they will not return until Trump is president, some will never come back)
This means that #America will not be able to amortize Her #public #debt.
Trump 'economy' raced the #USA to >bankruptcy.
The only thing Trump can do
to avoid being >lynched< by the 'We the people'
It is to give the #Americans an even more serious existential problem
> War
... get ready.

It’s been a rough week. We could all use a little contracts-adjacent frivolity. Today, we bring you the continuing sage of one man’s attempt to recover $800 million in bitcoin from a Welsh garbage dump.
This was a very good decision of our #EU when #America wasn’t included in the #European defence. We must build our strategic autonomy. We must support our domestic demand and domestic war industry. That’s the new world. #Europe must be strong. The EU has bought from EU. #ViveLaEurope!
The Supreme Court of PA is hearing an appeal of a case invalidating Uber’s terms of service. Brett Frischmann has filed an amicus brief in support of the appellees, calling for meaningful informed consent to digital contracts.
