The article discusses the implications of the Washington Supreme Court’s recent decision in Brown v. Old Navy, the significant statutory damages that businesses may face, and key strategies defendants can use to challenge class certification in these cases. The authors highlight procedural and substantive defenses available to retailers and other companies that utilize email marketing as they navigate an evolving and increasingly active area of consumer class action litigation.
