High Court Case Tests Bans On Class- Action Suits

-The U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments Tuesday in a case against AT& T

Mobility. A California couple sued the company on behalf of themselves

and all others who were charged $30.32 in sales tax for the supposedly free

phone they got when they enrolled. If they won, the class action could bring

potentially millions of dollars for all those consumers improperly charged.

But the cell phone contract barred class actions, meaning that the couple

would likely recover only $30.32 for themselves.

Justices Weigh Seat-Belt Lawsuits Against Mazda (CN)

-The Supreme Court on Wednesday looked at whether federal standards giving

car makers options in design and equipment requirements pre-empt design-defect claims

at the state level. The case arose from a California tort lawsuit accusing Mazda of failing to install a lap and shoulder belt instead of just a lap belt in the center back seat of a minivan, which allegedly led to a woman's death in a collision. The attorney for the victim's family, Martin Buchanan, said the family's state-law claims should be permitted based on Congress' intent to let common law play a role in determining safe vehicle standards.


Strip Search Machines at airports

-Transportation Security Administration initially

called “whole-body imagers” but has now

in today’s world?

clients or their employees with lavish massage and steam-filled weekends in opulent

settings.
