Analysis: Class certification broadens the collective litigation vehicle for payment-card issuers. It makes the case more relevant to issuer economics and payment-access disputes, while leaving the merits and any eventual remedy unresolved.
The order does not establish antitrust liability, award damages, require refunds or change current fees. Allegations remain allegations. The signed order was inspected through the copy hosted by plaintiffs’ counsel.
