This quarter, our partner from the Securities Litigation Group,
Andy Sumner, discusses SPAC-related class actions.
It was another active quarter with significant activity across
all areas we monitor in the Roundup.
COVID-19 continues to impact a variety of industries across these
areas, keeping the courts particularly busy. Insurance companies
saw the bulk of this activity with cases ranging from breach of
contract to coverage claims involving losses due to stay-at-home
orders. On the consumer protection front, a district judge denied
class certification in a case involving claims that ticket refunds
were not received after event cancellations or delays due to
COVID-19.
