Será que o Supremo Tribunal não vai resolver a questão da divisão do circuito sobre a legitimidade nos termos do artigo III nas acções colectivas?
Em 29 de abril de 2025, o Supremo Tribunal ouviu a argumentação sobre uma questão que dividiu os circuitos: "Se um tribunal federal pode certificar uma ação colectiva nos termos da Regra Federal de Processo Civil 23(b)(3) quando alguns membros da classe proposta não têm qualquer prejuízo ao abrigo do Artigo III?"

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.”
