Felder v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

What this case is about

The plaintiff is suing John Wiley & Sons, a major publishing and education company, alleging that the company breached its contractual obligations to consumers. The lawsuit, filed as a class action under diversity jurisdiction, claims that Wiley failed to honor the terms of agreements made with customers, potentially related to access to educational materials, digital content, or subscription-based services the company offers. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of similarly situated consumers who allegedly suffered harm as a result of Wiley's failure to deliver on its contractual promises. The specific nature of the breach centers on what customers were promised versus what they actually received, with the plaintiffs arguing that Wiley did not fulfill its end of the bargain in a meaningful way.
