Question(s) Presented

“Congress established the United States Court of Veterans Appeals (Veterans Court) and granted it ‘exclusive jurisdiction to review adverse decisions of the Board of Veterans’ Appeals’ (Board), a component of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). 38 U.S.C. § 7252. After VA acknowledged ‘that the Veterans Court has authority to certify a class for class action or similar aggregate resolution procedure,’ Monk v. Shulkin, 855 F.3d 1312, 1318 (2017), the Veterans Court promulgated rules for class practice.”

“The question presented is:”

“Does the Veterans Court have statutory or inherent authority to include veterans whose individual claims are not yet exhausted in a class seeking injunctive relief, where the court has jurisdiction over a named representative’s claim?”
