used to effectively terminate class claims. If so, defendants will be able to dispose of proposed class actions where the damages can be readily determined, and where the defendant is willing to pay those damages to the named plaintiffs

class-wide damage claims. This issue has the potential to narrow the circumstances in which a class action may be certified under FRCP 23

• Robins v. Spokeo- Whether a class action can proceed even though the

plaintiff representative has incurred no concrete, actual damage. If so, many class actions may be brought for a “technical violation”
