How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- noting that “express[] reserve[ation]” of “the right of the [absent class members] to maintain [other] claims in subsequent proceedings” is “not a guarantee of what subsequent courts will actually do”
- finding an express reservation “sufficient to extinguish defendants’ claim-splitting concerns for the purpose of class certification”
- “[Defendants have lifted the standard for granting a permanent injunction and grafted it onto Rule 23’s standard for class certification. This is clearly improper”
- “[T]here is no rule prohibiting the assignment of class membership____Ranis’s status as an assignee therefore does not prevent it from joining or representing the class.”
- “Because [the plaintiff] is an indirect purchaser and no exception to the Illinois Brick rule applies here, [the plaintiff] lacks standing to sue for damages under federal law[.]”
