Cases against Norwegian Air Shuttle and Deutsche Lufthansa have been dismissed by federal judges, concluding the actions of the airlines did not breach passenger contracts.

Several judges have come out with the first rulings from among hundreds of class actions seeking refunds for university and college tuition and fees tied to the COVID-19 shutdowns. Most of them have refused to dismiss claims of breach of contract.

U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria, at a Zoom hearing Thursday, said he would retain a stay on the Roundup litigation until Nov. 2, after which he could remand cases for trials, possibly in California, Nebraska, North Carolina or Illinois.

Clearview AI, which uses facial recognition technology to provide photographic information to law enforcement, is asking the JPML to coordinate nearly a dozen privacy class actions after lawyers failed to consolidate them before judges in New York and Illinois, home to the strictest biometrics law in the country.

In a filing on Thursday, Bayer's lawyers said they had settled thousands of lawsuits over Monsanto's Roundup after U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria raised questions about a $10.9 billion deal that failed to resolve all the litigation.

The petitions, filed by Bayer, which owns Monsanto, and lawyers for Dewayne "Lee" Johnson, who won a $289 million verdict in 2018, are the first before the California Supreme Court from among three Roundup cases that have gone to trial.

A California appeals court upheld the 2018 verdict but reduced the award after concluding the plaintiff was not entitled to such a high amount of future compensatory damages.

The notice of withdrawal came two days after a federal judge said he was likely to deny approval of the settlement, which Bayer reached last month to cap subsidiary Monsanto's liability over future Roundup claims.
