On April 30, the Supreme Court granted cert in Frank v. Gaos, an appeal of a Ninth Circuit decision affirming a District Court cy pres class action settlement. The petitioner claims that because the class action members received no direct relief, the award does not support class certification and violates Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requiring a settlement binding class members to be “fair, reasonable, and adequate.” Ted Frank, petitioner in the case and member of the Federalist Society Litigation Practice Group, will join us to discuss this important case.
