Petta v. Christie Business Holding Co., P.C.

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court affirmed dismissal of Petta’s class-action complaint for lack of standing. Petta alleged that a data incident created an increased risk that her private information had been exposed and that publicly available information was used in an unsuccessful loan application, but neither allegation established a concrete injury fairly traceable to Christie’s conduct. The court declined to resolve whether standing must be established for every putative class member before certification because Petta lacked standing individually.
