It seems that Chipotle’s Class Action Lawsuit may be heading for court. According to a news release from the Class Action Lawyer of San Francisco, California, Chipotle’s legal counsel is considering filing a Class Action Lawsuit against the popular Mexican restaurant chain. In June, 2021, the Dallas-based Chipotle Mexican Grill LLC settled with the District of Columbia Casualty Department for $4 million after a class action lawsuit was filed against the corporation for several violations of the D.C. Consumer and Business Regulations. As expected, the company has agreed to make changes in its business practices in an effort to “scape” the lawsuit.
Chipotle Class Action Lawsuit
According to the attorney, the lawsuit is not expected to be a class action lawsuit but instead a negotiated settlement agreement between the restaurant and the district. The reason behind this is because the proposed changes were agreed upon in writing and therefore void by reason of the sovereign immunity. In addition, the proposed changes are also reflected in the Company’s current financial statements. However, plaintiffs are allowed to make an offer of settlement in a written settlement agreement. A Chipotle representative declined to comment on this matter as it is a matter of litigation. Further information regarding the proposed changes will be provided once the litigation has concluded and a final resolution has been reached.
Other Class Action Lawsuits have been filed against Chipotle including claims of securities fraud.
Plaintiffs from both of these categories are seeking awards in a Class Action Lawsuit from the same settlement agreement. In one case, the complaint states that the defendant is liable for securities fraud because it did not provide warning prior to selling its unsold stock to a private investor. In the other case, plaintiffs are seeking a million dollar claim due to personal injury. Both of these lawsuits are currently being processed through the courts.
Plaintiffs additionally argue that they suffered injuries as a direct result of the defendants’ breach of warranty and therefore, this was a direct violation of FDD.
Plaintiffs further contend that the defendants failed to properly warn them of the risks of eating at the restaurant and thus, they were injured as a direct result of their negligence. Again, both of these class action lawsuits have been moving through the courts. There is a chance that the outcome of the case could affect future franchise opportunities. Chipotle representatives have indicated that they will file their defense against the lawsuits with the court.
