(Reuters) -X Corp cannot be forced to cover the upfront fees of arbitrating a series of legal disputes by former employees who lost their jobs after Elon Musk acquired the social media company, a U.S. appeals court ruled on Tuesday.
A panel of the New York-based 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said an arbitration firm must decide if X should pay the fees or the company can split them with the seven former workers who claim X is attempting to derail their cases.
