Supreme Court Declines to Review Class Certification of ATM Operator Class in Antitrust Case Against Mastercard and Visa
Antitrust law firm MoginRubin LLP announces advancement of class action litigation against Visa, Mastercard.
SCOTUS declines review of certification of a class of independent ATM Operators and two consumer classes in long-running case against Visa, Mastercard.
The ATM Operators, represented by MoginRubin LLP, a specialty antitrust law firm, allege that Visa and Mastercard network rules violate the Sherman Antitrust Act.
The appeals court found that all three classes satisfied the requirement of the rules for class actions, including the requirement that common questions must predominate over individualized issues.
“The petition was not well-founded,” said Jonathan Rubin, counsel for the ATM Operator class. “Mastercard and Visa tried to claim that there was some circuit conflict over the law governing the evidentiary standards for certifying a class. That’s just not true. The federal law on class certification has been well-settled for several years now,” Rubin said. “In light of that,” he said, “the Supreme Court’s rejection of the petition seemed to be obvious.”
The Independent Operator Class is represented by Jonathan Rubin, Dan Mogin, Tim LaComb, and Joy Sidhwa of MoginRubin LLP. The case is National ATM Council Inc., et al. v. Visa Inc., et al., No. 1:11-CV-01803-RJL, (D.D.C., filed October 12, 2011); No. 21-7109 (D.C. Cir., 2023); No. 23-814 (Sup. Ct.).
