No, but we should hear what they have to say. I’d say that between you and me, I’m the only one who’s willing to hear what each side has to say.

I could imagine the facts alleged being true in part, even in large part. But there’s no document in the world less impartial than a complaint. Need to hear from the other side.

We could wait to see what happens with this lawsuit. Or we could fill this thread with hot takes.

The bus to Randall’s Island can get pretty wild.

Bottcher looks like he’s 12.

No, I’m a lawyer whose practice includes plaintiff-side work, including class action.

I’m just speaking as someone who’s helped initiate a couple dozen class actions, one of which settled for over a billion dollars.

It’s good knowledge to have but you don’t need that evidence to file the class action.

Definitely. And having a bunch of interested people is a big help for when counsel has to decide which should actually serve as plaintiffs.

The members of the class can’t be one. But you can have just one plaintiff. Numerosity has nothing to do with how many plaintiffs there are.

You don’t actually need to gather many plaintiffs for a class action. You only need one, assuming there aren’t any problems with that one plaintiff (no standing, for example).

I’m talking about their motion to dismiss, not a press release.
