TransUnion LLC v. Ramirez

U.S. Supreme Court

Question(s) Presented

1. Whether either Article III or Rule 23 permits a damages class action where the vast majority of the class suffered no actual injury, let alone an injury anything like what the class representative suffered.

2. Whether a punitive damages award that is multiple times greater than an already-substantial ii classwide award of statutory damages, and is orders of magnitude larger than any actual proven injury, violates due process.
