Daniel Levin Speaks to Law.com About a Forthcoming Supreme Court Case Involving Important Class Certification Rules
Munger, Tolles & Olson partner Daniel Levin was quoted in a recent article published by Law.com titled, “Could the U.S. Supreme Court Finally Address Uninjured Class Members?”
In the article, Daniel discusses the significance of the Supreme Court’s decision to review Laboratory Corp. of America v. Luke Davis, a case involving a key question often raised during the certification stage of class actions: What happens when some of the class members haven’t been injured?
Daniel highlights how certain class certification rules could impact defendants, stating, “If a class is certified, it puts major pressure on a defendant to settle because the potential risks of a judgment of a certified class can be very big. That’s why people are focused on the rules around certification: how permissive or restrictive the rules are going to be when you certify.”
The case, which involves the potential certification of a class that includes uninjured members, is poised to address a critical question that has long been debated in the legal community. As a seasoned class action litigator, Daniel’s perspective on the matter underscores the importance of the Supreme Court’s forthcoming decision.
