Challenge made to class-action status granted authors
An appeals court judge has temporarily halted trial court proceedings between Google and thousands of authors represented by The Authors Guild pending appeal of an order granting the group of authors class-status. The appeals court has given Google permission to challenge the May 31 decision by Judge Denny Chin to let the authors sue as a group rather than individually.
