U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reverses U.S. District Judge Jack B. Weinstein's class action certification of an action brought by cigarette smokers allegedly deceived into believing that "light" cigarettes were healthier

ADVERTISEMENTS
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reverses U.S. District Judge Jack B. Weinstein's class action certification of an action brought by cigarette smokers allegedly deceived into believing that "light" cigarettes were healthier than "full-flavored" cigarettes: You can access today's ruling, by a unanimous three-judge panel, at this link.

Today's Second Circuit decision overturns a 540-page ruling issued on September 25, 2006. My earlier coverage of that ruling appeared here and here.

Update: Joseph Goldstein of The New York Sun reports that "$800 Billion Tobacco Lawsuit Is Thrown Out."
