What You Required to Know
- This month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit discovered that reward awards were ‘at finest suspicious’ under U.S. Supreme Court precedent going back to the 1880s.
- Petitions to evaluate choices by the Eleventh and Second Circuits are pending prior to the U.S. Supreme Court.
- There is growing cynicism about reward awards, especially amongst federal judges who evaluate class action settlements.
When the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit revoked reward awards 3 years earlier, the class action bar was stunned and called the choice an “outlier.”
The shock has actually disappeared. And it’s no longer an outlier.
