Geoffrey Westbrook authored an article in Law360, “Class And Collective Actions In A Post-Dukes World”
Geoffrey Westbrook authored an article on April 22 in Law360 on how Citibank NA’s victory against putative class and collective actions in Citibank v. Ruiz, represents a growing trend among trial courts of raising the bar on certification. Westbrook explains that Ruiz vividly portrays modern difficulties of certifying nationwide class or collective action in a world following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Wal-Mart Stores Inc. v. Dukes.
