Robert Radcliffe, et al. v. Experian Information Solutions, Inc., et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 18-55606 · judgment December 12, 2019

Certiorari denied · June 8, 2020

Pre-decision estimate: 8% cert probability (95% interval 6%–12%)

Before the decision, about 2× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a Ninth Circuit decision below, a circuit split argued in the petition, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition), and down for a business respondent.

Question presented

Whether Fed. R. Civ. P. 23 permits class counsel whose interests are in material conflict with those of the class to represent the class so long as they negotiated a “fair” settlement?
