The Procter & Gamble Company v. Rikos

Case Updates

The U.S. Chamber and Business Roundtable filed an amicus brief encouraging the Supreme Court to review a Sixth Circuit decision in which a divided panel allowed a certified class action to proceed based on the named plaintiffs’ mere promise that, at the merits stage of the litigation, they will introduce evidence purportedly showing that all members of the class suffered the same injury. The brief argues that the Sixth Circuit’s decision improperly postpones the requisite class certification inquiry until after the class is certified.

Joseph R. Palmore, Deanne E. Maynard, Marc A. Hearron, Rebekah Kaufman and Tiffany Cheung of Morrison & Foerster LLP served as co-counsel for the U.S. Chamber and Business Roundtable.
