Mike Pennington Comments on U.S. Supreme Court CAFA Ruling

A Law360 article titled “High Court’s CAFA Ruling Carries Danger for Defendants” examined the U.S. Supreme Court’s March 19, 2013, ruling in The Standard Fire Insurance Co. v. Greg Knowles. The high court’s ruling reinforces the Class Action Fairness Act’s goal of ensuring that big-dollar, interstate class actions remain in federal court. Mike Pennington, chair of the firm’s Class Action Team, provided commentary on possible pitfalls for defendants, despite Standard Fire’s victory in the case.
