Citing a lack of concrete injuries, a Camden federal judge has decertified a class action brought under the Truth in Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act on behalf of individuals who had entered into leases with Public Storage.

In granting the defendant’s motions to decertify the class, U.S. District Judge Jerome Simandle cited the New Jersey Supreme Court’s 2018 ruling in Spade v. Select Comfort, which required a showing of adverse consequences as a result of the defendant’s regulatory violation in order to find a consumer aggrieved under TCCWNA.
