The name of the case is Williams v. Reckitt Benckiser LLC.

💫HLLI Anniversary: HLLI’s Center for Class Action Fairness challenged an upside-down Neuriva settlement. 💰Lawyers sought $2.9M. 👎🏼Consumers? ~$442K in claims. ✅The Eleventh Circuit vacated approval. ⚖️Class actions should benefit the class—not just the attorneys.

⚖️LET MY PEOPLE GO: On April 9, @tedfrank will argue before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit to revive a $36M class action over the anti-Israel traffic blockade that happened near O’Hare airport. 🚘🚗🛻🚙🚚

📃The case: Manhart v. WESPAC Foundation Inc.

✅The defendants include Jewish Voice for Peace, The Tides Center (Community Justice Exchange), National Students for Justice in Palestine, WESPAC Foundation, Dissenters, and several individual organizers.

We challenged this, arguing the funds can—and should—be distributed to the class.

Example: In re Google Location History Litigation $62M settlement: 💰$18M to attorneys 💰$43M to nonprofits 0️⃣$0 to class members

❗Most people haven’t heard of cy pres—but they should. 📃It’s a legal doctrine that allows class action settlement funds to be redirected away from the class and toward third-party causes chosen by a court.
