California Federal Court Moves Hertz Case Back to San Francisco
Troutman Sanders associate Ross D. Andre was quoted throughout a Dec. 23 Northern California Record article, sharing his perspective on the case of Lee v. Hertz Corp., in which a district court in California recently granted a motion to dismiss an FCRA class action and remanded the case to state court. Ross also spoke of the case in light of Spokeo, Inc. v. Robin, a Supreme Court cases decided earlier in 2016, stating “In [Spokeo, Inc. v. Robin], the plaintiff is suing a company that he alleges is a consumer reporting agency—i.e., a company that provides consumer reports to third-parties. [Lee v. Hertz Corp.], on the other hand is a case against an employer — i.e., the user of a consumer report. While both have obligations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the particular requirements for each vary substantially, as do the claims.”
