3rd Circuit: No future injury means no injunctive relief
The 3rd Circuit decided March 6 in McNair v. Synapse Group Inc. that plaintiffs must show that they are likely to suffer future injury from defendants' conduct in order to receive injunctive relief.
Each of the plaintiffs in McNair had purchased a magazine subscription through consumer magazine distributor Synapse, which would automatically renew the subscriptions unless subscribers canceled them. The plaintiffs claimed Synapse tricked them into renewing their subscriptions by disguising automatic renewal notices as junk mail. The group filed a class action lawsuit against the company, seeking injunctive relief.
