- Definition of “Fraud Liability Shift”:

Case History
In 2016, a lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of California, alleging the Defendants implemented and maintained an unprecedented shift in the liability for billions of dollars’ worth of fraudulent payment card transactions. It is impossible to predict the outcome, but money may become available to eligible class
members if a settlement is reached with the Defendants in the future.
