StubHub Refund Litigation
The causation theory in MDL-2951 centers on the claim that StubHub's altered refund policies during the COVID-19 pandemic directly caused financial injuries to consumers. Plaintiffs argue that StubHub's decision to restrict or deny refunds for canceled events, especially after the policy change on March 12, 2020, was a substantial factor in their financial losses. The legal causation hinges on StubHub's breach of its duty to provide refunds, which the plaintiffs claim was foreseeable and directly resulted in their damages, including the loss of ticket payments and associated financial harm.
