How Judge Tung decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Enforces a clear contractual delegation of arbitrability and reads a generic severability clause harmoniously with it.
“Simply put, the severability clause and the delegation clause are not at odds; both can be given effect.”
Evaluates consumer labels from the perspective of a reasonable consumer rather than a regulatory specialist.
“the question is what a reasonable consumer expects, not what a regulatory expert in the food-and-beverage industry knows”
Procedural preferences
Resists procedural devices that would bind absent arbitration claimants without the safeguards or consent associated with class or bellwether proceedings.
“That is a class action stripped of all its important protective features.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“We remand the matter to the district court with instructions to grant the motion to compel and to stay the case pending the completion of arbitration proceedings. REVERSED AND REMANDED.”
“We reverse the judgment of the district court and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. REVERSED AND REMANDED.”
“For the reasons above, we reverse the district court's judgment dismissing Plaintiff's complaint with prejudice, and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. REVERSED AND REMANDED.”
