Event Summary
In the class certification stage, plaintiffs bear the evidentiary burden to satisfy Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. District courts are required to consider all probative evidence regardless of overlaps or other merit issues, especially regarding the inclusion of unharmed class members. Recent Supreme Court decisions in Goldman Sachs and TransUnion clearly articulate this mandate. However, in most antitrust class action cases providing evidence of a class-wide impact remains a challenge.
While some courts advise using statistical methods in proving injury and representative sampling, others believe that proper certification can be possible if there is an existing method to separate injured from uninjured class members.
Listen as experienced class action litigation lawyers Philip A. Giordano (Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP) and Jeffrey J. Amato (Winston & Strawn LLP) provide a comprehensive guide on the procedures and requirements for antitrust class certification. The speakers will also discuss the most notable cases and court decisions as well as their impact on class certification proceedings.
Key topics include:
• Overview of Class Certification Proceedings
• Antitrust Class Certification Requirements
• Notable Cases and Court Decisions
• Impact and Implications of Recent Court Decisions
• What Lies Ahead
