Heidi KlumSpokeo Case Stirs Supreme Court
The case involving the people-search website could have broad implications for class-action lawsuits
A decision is expected by June 2016.
The case is one of several on the court’s docket that have the potential to raise new hurdles to class-action lawsuits. The court next week will hear arguments in perhaps the biggest of the bunch, involving a lawsuit by pork-processing workers against Tyson Foods (http://quotes.wsj.com/TSN)Inc. That case examines the extent to which plaintiffs can use statistical methods to determine legal liability and class-action damages.

my prediction: 5 (extremist right wing hacks, BigCorp shills) - 4 (judges).
