The U.S. Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments in a case involving Labcorp's self-service check-in kiosks, which a group of blind plaintiffs claim are inaccessible and disadvantage them. Central to the case is whether class action lawsuits can be certified when they include members who have not suffered any injury. The justices appear inclined to reject Labcorp’s request to limit class membership to only those injured, potentially allowing uninjured individuals to be part of the class. This case raises important Article III standing questions and could reshape class action certification standards. However, there is also a possibility that procedural issues could affect the Court's ability to address these questions fully. The case has drawn attention for its implications on the rising number of class actions faced by corporate defendants and the ongoing circuit split over Article III standing in class actions.
