State Farm v. Jama
On June 16, 2025, the Supreme Court denied review of a Ninth Circuit decision that permitted class certification without common proof of harm. The denial was a setback for WLF, which argued in its amicus brief that the Ninth Circuit’s grant of federal court access to uninjured plaintiffs violated Article III. Greenlighting such claims, WLF contended, turned courts into regulators and undermined both due process and the separation of powers. WLF also cautioned that the Ninth Circuit’s approach ignored binding Supreme Court precedent and exceeded the authority granted by the Rules Enabling Act.
