Samsung's non-payment tactic is loathsome. One thing companies CAN'T do in forced arbitration clauses is adopt rules requiring the cliamant to pay all the costs of the arbitration. By adopting a policy of not paying its share—resulting in dismissal of the arbitration—Samsung is doing exactly that.

The consumers had the option of paying Samsung's share. But costs include the arbitrators' fees, which will average tens of thousands of dollars (at least) for each consumer-claimant. Samsung's approach defines bad faith: YOU can't go to court, but Samsung retains the option of court or arbitration.
