In Uber v Heller, Uber attempts to require one of its drivers, Mr. Heller, to use arbitration instead of the courts, if he wishes to sue Uber. The significance is this: if Uber succeeds in requiring Mr. Heller to use arbitration, then Mr. Heller may not commence his class action. This case picks up on where Telus left off.

In Telus v Wellman, Mr. Wellman (as a business entity) attempts to bypass the agreement to arbitrate, contained in a contract he agreed to, by attempting to join a consumer class action. The consequence of allowing Mr. Wellman to join a consumer class would blur the lines between business and consumers.
