TJX Data Breach Litigation: Judge Denies Class Certification


Evan Schuman reports that the district judge overseeing the TJX Data Breach litigation denied the motion for class certification filed by plaintiff banks.  (Access a pdf copy of that order here.)
 
Meanwhile:

Further complicating whether any of the plantiff banks would pursue independent lawsuits was a Friday statement issued jointly by TJX and Visa. Here's the full text of the Visa/TJX Agreement.

That Visa/TJX statement said that Visa would forgive "a portion" of the $880,000 that Visa had imposed on TJX's credit card processor. In exchange, TJX will pay an unspecified amount—all that the two said was that it wouldn't exceed $40.9 million—to an unspecified number of plaintiff banks.

As Evan notes, looks like a nice early xmas present for all involved (except for the consumers I would guess).
