U.S. Supreme Court holds that an unaccepted settlement offer of full relief does not moot a plaintiff’s claims
January 20, 2016
The Supreme Court held by a 6-3 vote that an unaccepted settlement offer of full relief does not moot a plaintiff’s claims. The Court left open the question whether a defendant’s tendering of full payment would moot the plaintiff’s claim.
U.S. Chamber argues that an offer of full relief moots a plaintiff’s claim
July 23, 2015
The U.S. Chamber filed a brief on the merits in a Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) case regarding whether a class action may move forward when the named plaintiff has already received an offer of full settlement.
The Chamber’s brief argued that an offer of full relief moots a plaintiff’s claim, and that this rule must apply in the class action context because permitting putative class actions to proceed without an interested named plaintiff violates Article III and Rule 23 while inviting abuse and gamesmanship.
The Business Roundtable filed the brief jointly with the Chamber.
Theodore J. Boutrous Jr. and Theane Evangelis of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP represented the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the U.S. Chamber Litigation Center.
