A proposed class of PACER users on Friday urged a D.C. federal court not to toss claims that the federal court filing service is too expensive, arguing the government has misconstrued the complaint as concerning a billing code error, when it’s actually over the price of the service. The non-profit advocacy groups that regularly use PACER and seek to lead the proposed class, the National Veterans Legal Services Program, National Consumer Law Center and Alliance for Justice, pushed back on the federal government’s late June motion to dismiss the complaint by comparing its pricing gripe to that of a customer in a restaurant.
