On September 28, 2023, Winston & Strawn LLP filed a Rule 23(f) petition in the Second Circuit requesting permission to appeal the district court’s grant of class certification—seeking clarification with respect to the application of the Supreme Court’s decision in Comcast v. Behrend, 569 U.S. 27 (2013).

On August 19, 2022, we wrote about the Eleventh Circuit’s decision in Drazen v. Pinto, which held that a class action settlement agreement may receive final approval only if every class member has standing to recover individual damages.
