Today, the Supreme Court issued its long-awaited decision in Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins. In a win for the business community, the Court held that plaintiffs can’t satisfy Article III’s injury-in-fact requirement for standing to sue in federal court by merely alleging the violation of a statute, without any accompanying real-world injury. For more details on the decision, which arose based on claims brought under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, please see the report by my colleagues, who represented Spokeo before the Supreme Court.
