In my 2010 wrap up posted last week, I neglected to mention one of the three class action-related cases in which the United States Supreme Court granted cert in 2010. Smith v. Bayer is an appeal of a case that did make my top 10 list, In re Baycol Products Litigation, 593 F.3d 716 (8th Cir. 2010). The Court granted cert last September to [...]

Last week, I posted a short note about the Eighth Circuit’s decision in In re Baycol Products Litigation. Here is a more in-depth synopsis, thanks to fellow Baker & Hostetler partner Joe Ezzi: The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals recently affirmed a district court order enjoining state court plaintiffs from pursuing a class action because the district court had [...]

In late July, I commented on a possible trend in courts allowing foreign investors to be included as class members in securities class actions filed in U.S. courts. At the time, the primary decision allowing foreign investors to be included in an opt-out securities class was In re Vivendi Universal, S.A. Sec. Litig., 242 F.R.D. 76 [...]
