DARK 0 #1 May 2, 2011 I was just listening to a technology podcast and they were talkin about a much under reported recent decision by the us supreme court. Basically they ruled in googles favour that it was ok for them to have an agreement not to sue in their t+c's and eula and that this covered class action lawsuits etc etc What I am just wondering is if any of the legal eagles here know what the decision was exactly and if there is any reason why this would not bolster the value of a waiver in the event of a lawsuit from either a customer or customers family? just curious Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I knew that already though I am wondering if anyone knows of any reasn why it cannot be applied to skydiving waivers I'm not an attorney but I don't think it applies as I don't think there are many class action lawsuits against skydiving businesses (except maybe skyride but that is a separate issue than what I think you are asking about)."What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
