Plaintiffs allege that Associated Newspapers, the publisher behind outlets such as the Daily Mail, engaged in deceptive subscription billing practices against consumers in the United States. The lawsuit claims that the company enrolled customers in automatically renewing subscription plans without clearly disclosing the auto-renewal terms before purchase, making it difficult for subscribers to cancel and continuing to charge them after they believed their subscriptions had ended or after they attempted to cancel. The proposed class is expected to include U.S. consumers who paid for a digital or print subscription to one of the company's publications and were subjected to these allegedly undisclosed or inadequately disclosed recurring charges within the applicable statute of limitations period.
The case is in its earliest stage. The defendant has not yet responded. Class certification — the court's decision on whether the case can proceed as a class action — typically takes 12 to 24 months after filing.
