Huyer v. Van de Voorde

Plaintiffs filed a class action against Wells Fargo in 2008, alleging claims related to Wells Fargo's practice of automatically ordering and charging fees for property inspections when customers fell behind on their mortgage payments. The parties reached a settlement agreement in 2015, providing that Wells Fargo will pay $25,750,000 in full settlement to all class claims. On appeal, movant challenged the district court's order approving the settlement, which required one subgroup of class members to submit proofs of claim before receiving payment. The court dismissed the appeal for lack of standing because movant is not a member of this subgroup and suffered no injury from this requirement. In this case, movant would not benefit from the changes she seeks. View "Huyer v. Van de Voorde" on Justia Law
