Supreme Court of Arkansas

Chad Parnell, an Arkansas Citizen on Behalf of Himself and All Other Arkansas Citizens Similarly Situated v…

December 19, 20192019 Ark. 412

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Parnell’s complaint and class allegations because he failed to plead a cognizable injury under the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act or facts showing that FanDuel was unjustly enriched. The court held that Parnell did not allege that he was unable to withdraw or use his $200 deposit and that his claimed loss was speculative. Because the complaint failed to state facts entitling him to relief, dismissal of the proposed class action at the pleading stage was proper.
