A lawsuit filed in March 2016 over how the four U.S. card brands handled the liability shift during the EMV migration more than 10 years ago, along with unreimbursed chargebacks associated with it, has reached its next step. The suit is over unreimbursed liability-shift chargebacks made with a credit or debit card on the networks in the Oct. 1, 2015 through Sept. 30, 2017 time period. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York announced Monday a $231.7 million settlement was reached Oct. 17 in the class action lawsuit B & R Supermarket, Inc., et al. The EMV liability shift went into effect in October 2015 in an effort to reduce card fraud at the point of sale. The next court date is on April 27 for a hearing to consider any objections and whether to approve the settlements.
