Faruqi & Faruqi Defeats Motion to Dismiss in Consumer Data Breach Class Action Against Arby’s Restaurant Group Inc.

On March 5, 2018, United States District Court Judge Amy Totenberg of the Northern District of Georgia denied the majority of Arby's Restaurant Group Inc.'s ("Arby's") motion to dismiss. In its carefully considered 56-page opinion, the Court upheld a majority of the consumer plaintiffs' claims alleging that Arby's failed to take reasonable care in protecting consumers' credit card information. Faruqi & Faruqi Partners Robert W. Killorin, Timothy J. Peter, and Stuart J. Guber served as Co-Lead Counsel for the consumer plaintiffs. This victory follows Faruqi & Faruqi's recent and historic data breach settlement against The Home Depot, Inc.
