Zal het Hooggerechtshof een punt zetten achter de Circuit Split over artikel III-bevoegdheid in groepsacties?
Op 29 april 2025 hoorde het Hooggerechtshof argumenten over een kwestie die de circuits heeft verdeeld: "Mag een federale rechtbank een class action certificeren op grond van Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(3) wanneer sommige leden van de voorgestelde class geen artikel III-schade hebben?".

New Circuit Decisions Highlight When Individualized Damages Issues May Preclude Class Certification
Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(3), a district court may certify a damages class if “the court finds that the questions of law or fact common to class members predominate over any questions affecting only individual members, and that a class action is superior to other available methods for fairly and efficiently adjudicating the controversy.”
