Court Ruling: Individual Settlements Can't Invalidate Consumer Lawsuits

On Wednesday, a Supreme Court ruling determined that companies can’t nullify class action claims by simply offering full relief to an individual plaintiff. The court ruled in favor of a plaintiff who refused to drop a TCPA case when offered such a deal. Previously, courts had ruled that when a single plaintiff had received compensation for any alleged wrong doing, the plaintiff could no longer seek compensation on behalf of the class they represented.
