Fausett v. Walgreen Co.

Summary

The court held that the plaintiff lacked common-law standing to pursue her FACTA claim because, after discovery, she established at most a speculative increased risk of identity theft rather than a concrete injury. Because the plaintiff could not maintain her individual claim, the circuit court abused its discretion by certifying the class. The court reversed both lower-court judgments and remanded with directions to dismiss the complaint for lack of standing.
