We blogged last fall about Match.com getting certain claims dismissed in a lawsuit asserting RICO, fraud, and breach of contract claims. Now, Match.com has been sued again in the Northern District of Texas (pdf copy of complaint located here). The plaintiffs, who purport to represent a class, sued Match.com for breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and negligent misrepresentation, based on, among other things, Match.com allegedly engaging in “fraudulent or negligent misrepresentations about the number of active members” on its site.
Plaintiffs are represented by Roger Claxton, of Dallas, Texas; Jeffrey Norton and Randolph McLaughlin, both of Harwood Feffer LLP in New York, New York; and David Lever, Howard Stolzenberg, and Evan Spencer, all of Lever & Stolzenberg, LLP, of White Plains, New York.
The case is before Judge Lindsay.
