SaralnamaX Corp won a legal battle over arbitration fees in New York on 3 Sep 2025. The U.S. appeals court ruled X cannot be forced to pay upfront fees for arbitrating disputes with seven former employees who lost jobs after Elon Musk bought the company. The court said the arbitration firm JAMS must decide if X should pay fees or split them with workers. This affects hundreds of cases from the 6,000 employees Musk fired after acquiring Twitter in 2022. X claims it didn't require arbitration as workers could opt out when hired. The ruling overturns a lower court decision that favored the ex-employees. (Updated 3 Sep 2025, 10:02 IST; source: link)
