Ballard Spahr Alert: 11th Circuit Deepens Circuit Split on Standing: Holds FACTA Violation Creates Concrete Injury Based on Inherent Risk of Real Harm
Last month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit issued an opinion in Muransky v. Godiva Chocolatier, Inc., which, sua sponte, vacated and reissued its earlier ruling in the same case: that consumers have standing to pursue claims for violation of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act’s (FACTA) “truncation” rule. That rule prohibits merchants from printing “more than the last 5 digits of the credit card number or the expiration date” on a receipt. While the court did not expressly state its reasons for vacating its original opinion—issued in October 2018, in a split from the Second, Seventh, and Ninth Circuits—it noted that “the major change” appears in its Article III standing analysis—which is, of course, the basis of its holding. In particular, the court addressed the Third Circuit’s recent decision in Kamal v. J. Crew Group, Inc., which reached the opposite conclusion on the same issue and criticized the 11th Circuit’s original decision. In its new decision, the 11th Circuit attempts to address these issues through an amended standing analysis, which largely conflates the various standing principles and leaves an unclear picture of the 11th Circuit’s view of standing in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Spokeo Inc. v. Robins.
