Class Actions

The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit worked its way through a varied menu of class-action issues during 2022, including the multifaceted problem of uninjured class members—which the court has decided to consider en banc—as well as several class-action jurisdictional issues. The court also declined to rehear en banc its controversial 2020 decision prohibiting class-representative incentive awards, a decision that the Supreme Court recently declined to review as well. In their article for Mercer Law Review, Eversheds Sutherland attorneys Thomas Byrne and Stacey McGavin Mohr discuss these issues.
