How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that a state law's limit to in-state events is an \application of choice-of-law principles [that] has nothing to do with standing \ (emphasis in original)
- explaining that fact that class members’ claims may “rely on some other state’s law … has nothing to do with standing.”
- explaining that if “a plaintiff’s claim under his preferred legal theory fails,” that failure “has nothing to do with subject-matter jurisdiction”
- noting that whether a plaintiff has a redressable injury is distinct from the “choice of law” question of whether he may avail himself of a particular statute
- noting that the-difficulty of managing “a class action arising under the consumer-fraud laws of all 50 states” “has nothing to do with stmding” and should be addressed through other means
- stating that whether plaintiff could represent a class of out of state plaintiffs based on different state laws “has nothing to do with standing, though it may affect whether a class should be certified”
