Replying To:
Let the lawyers get what the plaintiffs get (none / 0) (#4)
by MrsPost on Tue Mar 18, 2008 at 10:46:36 AM PDT

I know this has been said before but it always bears repeating.

If the plaintiffs get coupons off their next purchase, so should the legal team.

What? That's unacceptable! Those lawyers put real time and effort into winning this case so why should they get .. oh.

Yeah, ain't gonna happen unless some federal judge states that in their decision. That whatever penalty imposed on the defendant is the same penalty the lawyers get, per hour.

100 hours of work? 100 $10 off coupons your next purchase.

That's the only way class action settlements are going to change and it would be great to see that if it ever happened. But the legal system is designed to protect the lawyers just like the income tax system is designed to protect the tax accountants. Nothing is going to change.
