We’ve bloggedseveraltimesbefore about the many deficiencies of third-party payor class actions for purely economic – and usually invented – loss. In all but a few courtrooms, such claims have been dismissed. Yesterday, it happened again, in Southern Illinois Laborers’ and Employers Health and Welfare Fund v. Pfizer Inc., Civ. A. No. 08 CV 5175 (KMW) (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 30, 2009). We’re too busy right now to put a full post about it, and thankfully we don’t have to. Here’s a link to the excellent and comprehensive post on the case over at the Consumer Class Actions and Mass Torts blog.

We’ll add only one thing, and that’s a link to the slip opinion.

We’re sure glad to see that blog back up and running after a disturbingly long hiatus.
