Supreme Court considers limits on class actions

Justices hear Comcast and Amgen appeals

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court appeared divided Monday in two cases in which businesses are trying to make it harder for customers or investors to band together to sue them.

The justices heard arguments in appeals from biotech company Amgen Inc. and cable provider Comcast Corp. that seek to shut down class-action lawsuits against the businesses.

Comments

If you think about it, Justice Roberts' HCA decision was completely in line with his marked habit of favoring business interests. I don't expect his vote to surprise anyone this time.

cool!
