CAA moves to oust Writers Guild lawsuit over lack of standing WGA
CAA filed a motion Thursday in a California state court seeking to boot the Writers Guild of America from its own litigation on the grounds that the organization has no standing to sue over conduct relating to individual members and that each instance of packaging involves distinct circumstances that preclude a class-action type approach.
A hearing is set for Sept. 5. The WGA need not file a reply to CAA’s motions until two weeks before the hearing, with CAA then having a week to respond. Meanwhile, the other three agencies are expected to file their own motions by June 24. And although CAA has not brought counterclaims against the WGA, that could yet happen.
“Associational standing … requires that the WGA demonstrate that ‘neither the claim asserted nor the relief requested requires the participation of individual members in the lawsuit,’” says a CAA legal brief, quoting a California case. “The WGA’s First Amended Complaint fails this test.
