How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- concluding that fear \coupled with [the third parties'] potential incapacity to pursue legal remedies\ constituted a hindrance
- noting that an association may satisfy the elements of standing by either asserting claims arising from injuries sustained by the association, or pursuing claims as a representative of its members
- limited member participation does not defeat standing where sample evidence 'is about \methods\ employed by Defendants and used to prove \systemic\ conduct by Defendants
- “We agree that conferring associational standing would be improper for claims requiring a fact-intensive-individual inquiry.”
- “Had the [association] continued to press its claims for damages on appeal, dismissal under Rule 12(b)(6) would be entirely appropriate.”
- “The stigma associated with receiving mental health services presents a considerable deterrent to litigation.”
