  • "Takeaway: Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark decision in AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, 563 U.S. 333 (2011), numerous courts have upheld class action waiver clauses in mandatory arbitration agreements. But relatively few decisions have addressed the enforceability of class action waivers untethered to arbitration agreements. Earlier this year, however, the New Jersey Supreme Court upheld a class action waiver in a residential lease agreement that did not contain an arbitration agreement. Pace v. Hamilton Cove, 317 A.3d 477 (N.J. 2024). The Pace decision introduces a new variable into the calculus of whether companies that face class actions must utilize mandatory arbitration agreements to avoid class litigation."

  • "Takeaway: The Sixth Circuit recently emphasized how demanding Rule 23’s commonality requirement can be. In In re Nissan North America, Inc. Litigation, --- F.4th ----, No. 23-5950, 2024 WL 4864339 (6th Cir. Nov. 22, 2024), the panel eviscerated a district court’s certification of ten statewide classes, finding the district court glossed over material differences arising from changes made to an allegedly defective product over time. Even beyond the commonality requirement, Nissan provides a roadmap for class action defendants to follow."
