Who Owns A Class Action?, Richard A. Booth May 2014

Who Owns A Class Action?, Richard A. Booth

Villanova Law Review

This Essay considers the potential implications for securities class actions of Standard Fire Insurance Co. v. Knowles, which is presently before the Supreme Court. Although the ultimate question in Knowles is whether the plaintiff class may be gerrymandered so as to avoid removal to federal court, a closely related question may arise in securities fraud class actions (which are filed in federal court in the first place).

Rule 8 requires that a plaintiff must include in the complaint "a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief." Federal courts developed a well-settled set of principles to apply when deciding whether to dismiss a claim.
