September 2019: A federal judge granted preliminary approval of the settlement agreement that would provide class members with a cash award or voucher for a free date. In addition, class members from New York who spent more than $1,000 will receive a $200 payment. The company also agreed to honor client preferences when matching members. A final fairness hearing is scheduled for December 10, 2019. For more information, go to http://www.ijlclassaction.com/.
April 2016: Plaintiffs in a false advertising class-action lawsuit filed against the dating service It’s Just Lunch in 2007 moved for final approval of a settlement agreement.
The complaint, which was amended in 2013, alleges that It’s Just Lunch deceptively represents that:

- Matches are hand-selected based on someone’s desires, goals, and motivations when such claims are false;
- Staff members have years of experience and are experts in matchmaking when, in reality, the company routinely hires staff members who have no experience, training, or background in matchmaking;
- The staff have thousands of available members in the client’s city when, in reality, there are only hundreds or even fewer members available in that city;
- There are an equal percentage of men and women in its system when, in reality, the number of women is “grossly disproportionate” to the number of men in the system;
- The company is “selective” over who it allows to become members when, in reality, the company accepts anyone willing to pay its fees; and
- The company “carefully matches its clients with other members” when, in reality, matches are made “at random.”

According to the settlement terms, a $4.75 million fund will be created to cover costs and awards. Each member of the New York class will receive an award of $100, while each member of the National class may receive vouchers for one or two free dates arranged by It’s Just Lunch (each voucher is valued at $450). In addition, the company agreed to add a customer pledge to its website and modify contracts to include a commitment to honor clients’ preferences for matches for the three most complained about characteristics (age, religion, and parental status).
