The Supreme Court ruled Monday that a collection agency with no financial stake in a case can sue on behalf of its customers. The 5-4 decision addresses a basic legal point, that courts can only hear cases when plaintiffs suffer actual injuries that are traceable to a defendant's conduct. In the case before the Court, APCC Services Inc. is trying to collect from Sprint Communications Co. and San Antonio-based AT&T Inc. for coinless long-distance calls over the networks of Sprint and AT&T.
