Data Breach Class Actions Continue to Challenge U.S. Courts with Jurisdictional Issues
Data breach-related class actions remain prevalent in U.S. courts, often settling rather than going to trial. These cases present complex jurisdictional issues, particularly when a court's ability to oversee a settlement is questioned due to challenges to plaintiffs' standing. This complexity adds to the legal calculus for both plaintiffs and defendants in determining where to file and defend such actions. The procedural hurdles, such as standing requirements, are significantly influencing the trajectory of these settlements across the country.
