The Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 that individual plaintiffs must prove at least 10000 in damages to file in federal court. The decision, in a Vermont couple's suit against International Paper over lakefront property losses, says the case cannot be treated as a class action since other landowners lacked the threshold.
