A Miami federal judge on Monday allowed a lawsuit to proceed against the government over its fees for using the federal courts' Public Access to Court Electronic Records system.
The decision comes several months after a class was certified in a District of Columbia case claiming excessive PACER fees.
Plaintiff Thomas D'Apuzzo filed the Miami class action alleging PACER improperly charged him and others to access judicial opinions, which are supposed to be free to view. The government moved to dismiss the lawsuit for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim.
