Apple Antitrust Case Finds New Consumer Plaintiff

Posted by timothy on Saturday December 13, 2014 @12:09AM from the you-may-have-already-won dept.

An anonymous reader writes Class action against Apple is set to continue after 65-year-old amateur figure skater Barbara Bennett decided she would volunteer to represent consumers in the faltering antitrust case. U.S. district judge Yvonne Gonzalez-Rogers is reportedly satisfied that Bennett qualifies as a class member, telling attorneys that they 'were on the right track.' Bennett offered to volunteer in the case after reading an online news story which suggested that the suit was floundering due to a lack of a named plaintiff after the last plaintiff was disqualified earlier this week.

Me: single law firm with a pending lawsuit against a deep pockets company. Likes long walks on the beach and watching old movies.
You: a potential plaintiff, looking for a good time and maybe more. Oh yeah, and potential big payout for both of us.
Whatever Apple may have done, shopping for plaintiffs like this just feels wrong.
