The Washington Examiner has published this editorial by PLF Principal Attorney Deborah J. La Fetra, commenting on the lawsuit that Congressman Alan Grayson has filed in Washington, D.C., against AT&T:
In a case now before D.C.'s local Court of Appeals, Grayson is asking to have the District's consumer protection ordinance interpreted -- or, rather, misinterpreted -- to permit lawsuits against businesses even if the plaintiff didn't suffer any injury.In other words, this self-described "progressive Democrat" is trying to subvert a key safeguard against frivolous lawsuits: The requirement that the plaintiff show tangible "standing," including harm caused by the defendant's conduct.
