APL Co. Pte. Ltd. v. Remira Water Solutions, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that defendant’s offer prior to the filing of motion for class certification did not moot the action filed as a class action
• stating that the Eighth Circuit would likely not allow a defendant to pay off the named plaintiff to preemptively force dismissal of the putative class action
• declining to dismiss when Rule 68 offer made 7 1/2 months after complaint and prior to motion for class certification
• denying defendant’s motion to dismiss where defendant had offered the maximum statutory relief to plaintiff but plaintiff had not filed motion for class certification
• “Hinging the outcome of [a motion to dismiss] on whether or not class certification has been filed is not well-supported in the law nor sound judicial practice.”
• “Hinging the outcome of this motion on whether or not class certification has been filed ... would encourage a ‘race to pay off named plaintiffs very early in litigation, before they file motions for class certification.”
