Allstate Denies That Class Certification Is ‘Appropriate’ for Chicago TCPA Case

Joseph Bond and Tonia Jewell-Vines in their Telephone Consumer Protection Act class action against Allstate (see 2307100007) allege that the classes proposed for certification “number at least in the hundreds,” said the parties’ joint status report Monday (docket 1:23-cv-04385) in U.S. District Court for Northern Illinois in Chicago. The plaintiffs have served discovery requests “aimed at obtaining a more precise number,” said the report. Allstate denies that class certification is “appropriate” in this case, it said. Allstate has responded with various objections, “including objections to the scope of the requests in relation to the classes proposed for certification,” said the report.
