The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled on February 25, 2026, that the federal Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act of 2021 (EFAA) bars arbitration of an entire lawsuit that relates to a sexual harassment dispute, not just the harassment claim.  In Bruce v. Adams & Reese LLP, the court affirmed a district court’s refusal to compel arbitration of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) claims where the plaintiff also adequately pleaded sexual harassment under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
