District Court Certifies Class in Target Data Breach Case | Practical Law
In In re Target Corp. Customer Data Security Breach Litigation, the US District Court for the District of Minnesota granted a motion for class certification creating a class of financial institutions that had issued payment cards compromised in the data breach that occurred at Target Corp. The court dismissed Target's arguments against the certification and found that the plaintiffs had met all the requirements for class certification, including the commonality and predominance requirements.
