The 71-page complaint, available here, asserts that Capper Volstead does n

First of all, let me say that anyone who has been in any way hurt or injured by any other party and settled through a class action lawsuit, disregard this article. I am more interested in the little frivolous lawsuits that award pitiful amounts to offended parties who most likely had no idea they were offended.There are habitual class action participators and then there are the lucky ones who find

ValueClick is a company that is kind of like an Adsense so to speak. They let publishers put links on their site and pay for clicks, hence the name “Value CLICK”.

The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday denied T-Mobile and AT&T to end a class-action lawsuit challenging the carriers' policies against unlocking mobile phones.

The law firm argues Qantas, AIR NEW ZEALAND, BRITISH AIRWAYS, CATHAY PACIFIC, SINGAPORE AIRLINES (SGX:S55) and MALAYSIAN AIRLINES have short changed travel agents by up to A$80 million by failing to include fuel surcharges when calculating agents' fees.* Managing director Graham Turner said Flight Centre had advised Slater & Gordon it was "unlikely" to participate in the legal action because of "commercial considerations" and would instead hold direct discussions with the airlines.

I’ve been watching the Liberty Dollar for a couple of years now, but have only mentioned them here in passing because I never quite “got” it. If you don’t know what it is, I’m not really in a very good position to explain it to you other then it’s an alternative currency that is (supposedly) 100% backed by actual precious metal (silver and gold). Well, their offices were raided earlier this week and all of the coins, silver and gold was confiscated along with all of their business records. They are now suggesting that anyone with an outstanding order join a class action lawsuit against the federal government because the government stole the coins. Um… what?!? Allow me to reframe this argument, removing the confusing spectre of an alternative currency…. I sell you a car via the internet. The car is here in Morgan Hill, CA and you are wherever you are. You mail or PayPal me the money for the car, and arrange for a third party th

Interesting news with Equifax…. Quoted from Equifax; “As you may be aware, Equifax Consumer Services LLC has entered into a class action settlement in Hillis v. Equifax Consumer Services, Inc. and Fair Isaac Corporation (“the Hillis lawsuit”). The Hillis lawsuit alleged that Equifax failed to comply with the Credit Repair Organization Act (“CROA”) in connection with its offering of certain direct-to-consumer credit information products.”  ”Equifax and our co-defendant, Fair Isaac Corporation, made the strategic and business decision to resolve the Hillis litigation in a class action settlement.” “One of the provisions in the Hillis settlement agreement requires Equifax and Fair Isaac to implement certain injunctive relief terms. These injunctive relief terms primarily address some statements and phrases that Equifax and Fair Isaac cannot use in describing our products.”  ”Injunctive relief terms applicable to Contractual Associ

At one point, a former coworker and I spoke to an attorney about a potential class action lawsuit alleging workplace discrimination by a former employer. What we learned is that, depending on the size of the company and the number of Black employees, some attorneys are looking for anywhere from 20-25 participants in a class action lawsuit as the minimum number of complainants required to consider taking the case. And, an attorney may ultimately want a larger number of employees to join the class action lawsuit as it progresses.The issue for my coworker and I was that our job site was once an independent company that was acquired by another very large organization. Much of the work both companies did not overlap. And, for almost the first two years, there wasn’t a lot of work being done between coworkers of the two newly merged companies. The site we worked at was nearly completely disconnected from the majority of employees. Our job site employed about 8 Blacks on a full-time basis a

In a federal court in Miami a nationwide class action lawsuit was filed against pet food companies. It alleges the pet food industry misleads consumers about the ingredients in cat and dog food. An example of ‘false advertising’ that is given is the advertisement of dog food as though it is people food when in reality the proteins inside the bag are coming from leftover hooves, chicken feet, feathers, heads and bones considered inedible by people. Another complaint is the usage of the confusing term ‘meal’. It sounds good and most dog owners don’t know what this means exactly. Attorney Jeffrey Maltzman says that meal comes from a rendering plant that grinds up leftover parts, or diseased or sick animals unfit for human consumption, and it is superheated. Questions arise whether the dreaded 4D’s are still present in cat and dog food. 4D’s is an industry term that stands for dead, diseased, dying and disabled animals. These are eligibly used in pet food. The fifth D stands

About a dozen Blacks have filed a $200 million class action lawsuit, in Brooklyn Federal Court, based on claims that the NYPD discriminates against Blacks in conducting stop and frisk searches. I had a recent post containing statistics on the searches, which showed that far more NY Blacks are stop and frisked compared to Whites. New statistics show that less than 10% of all stop and frisk

Business Wire reports that the law firm of Sheldon J. Schlesinger, P.A. in Fort Lauderdale, Florida has hit Lexus and corporate parent Toyota with a class action lawsuit relating to the ES350's airbag sensors. According to Lexusdefect.com, "many owners have found that these sensors are intermittingly turning off thereby creating a situation where... the air bag would not deploy." The lawyers also maintain that "company spokespersons have stated that there is a problem, but they do not know how to fix it." Without citing any statistical evidence to support the allegation, they "believe that there is strong evidence this problem effects every single ES 350" and warn "if you have not experienced this defect, that does not mean it is not present." They aren't asking much-- just for Lexus to recall and re-purchase the cars at their full cost, give full refunds to lessors and "compensatory damages for all costs and damages."

CTV reports that a class action lawsuit suit filed in Ontario Superior Court claims carmakers and dealers conspired to violate “competition and consumer protection laws.” Lawyer Henry Juroviesky claims US car dealers suppressed cross-border shopping by limiting supply, inflating prices and voiding warranties. In the past, dealers “used the large gap between the Canadian dollar and U.S. greenback to justify the higher prices in Canada,” says Juroviesky. "Now that the dollar is at parity they can't use that cloud... to mask what they're doing.” Meanwhile, a recent study says the problem is going away. "In all of our 'popular' segments... the price gap between Canada and the U.S. narrowed in 2007," says Dennis DesRosiers, President of DesRosiers Automotive Consultants Inc. of Richmond Hill, Ontario.
