Apple Gets A Double Doze Of Missing Text Lawsuits, Combined

Apple and the missing text, iMessage.

The case we reported yesterday, Moor vs Apple Inc, regarding the missing text and a bunch of other stuff has been consolidated with a case filed earlier. It was filed in May by plaintiffs Adam Backhaut, Joy Backhaut, and Kenneth Morris, arguing that Apple was violating the Stored Communications Act and wiretap act, by intercepting messages.
The judge presiding over the cases has decided that both the cases have similarities enough to be consolidated. Even as all three parties have shown the relectance to do so, Judge Lucy Koh has give them until December 4th to refile case. Both plaintiffs seek to get Class certification for their cases.
