Jeremy Heep, a partner with Pepper Hamilton, a co-chair of the firm's Litigation and Dispute Resolution Department and a co-chair of the Antitrust and Competition section, and Daniel J. Boland, a partner in the Commercial Litigation Practice Group of Pepper Hamilton, was quoted in the December 20, 2017 Pennsylvania Record article, " Federal Judge Denies Certification of Class Action Lawsuit Against Truck Manufacturers."
Lead defense counsel and co-chair of Pepper Hamilton’s Anti-Trust and Competition Section Jeremy Heep said, “These rulings are massive wins that effectively deny and end all efforts to seek class certification in this case, Though individual actions may still move forward, this win is a complete grand slam. Volvo Trucks and Mack Trucks are delighted with this correct result.”
Pepper Hamilton partner, executive committee member and fellow member of defense counsel Daniel Boland concurred.
“We are extremely happy with the District Court’s decision. Plaintiffs had a full and fair opportunity to gather and present evidence necessary to certify a class and failed. We believe that justice was done by bringing finality to the class certification proceedings,” Boland said.
The defendants are represented by Heep, Boland and Michael Hartman of Pepper Hamilton, in Philadelphia.
