Waffle House Wants Applicant Background Check Suit Tossed
Troutman Sanders is mentioned in a Law360 story titled, “Waffle House Wants Applicant Background Check Suit Tossed.” Plaintiffs have claimed Waffle House and a public record search engine violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act. On Sept. 29, Waffle House asked a Florida federal judge to dismiss one claim in the putative class action. "This is precisely the type of claim that the [U.S.] Supreme Court, the Eleventh Circuit, and numerous appellate and district courts from around the country have held must be dismissed due to a lack of constitutional standing," Waffle House said in its motion to dismiss. "Plaintiffs have no standing to assert a claim for a behind-the-scenes certification that had no impact on them whatsoever." Partner John Lynch and Associate David Gettings represent Waffle House, and Partners Timothy St. George and Ronald Raether Jr. represent the Source For Public Data LP.
