The Los Angeles Rams just lost another skirmish in the team’s multiple legal battles.

This time, a St. Louis judge approved a class-action lawsuit aiming to get money back to fans who bought tickets and merchandise since 2010, and got stuck with jerseys, T-shirts and other paraphernalia for a team that left St. Louis.

St. Louis residents James Pudlowski, Louis C. Cross III, Gail Henry and Steve Henry filed suit in 2016, alleging the Rams purposefully misled fans who may not have otherwise bought tickets or merchandise, or paid so much for them.

On Wednesday, Judge Timothy Boyer ruled that the suit could proceed as a class action, a move the Rams had fought for more than two years. Boyer appointed St. Louis attorney Steven Stolze as class counsel. Missouri residents who bought merchandise in the state between April 21, 2010, and Jan. 4, 2016, can now participate in the suit.

“I am very pleased,” said Thayer Weaver, one of the case’s attorneys. “I’m hopeful that the citizens of St. Louis can one day start the healing process ...”

Rams representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
