An amicus brief was filed in federal appeals court to protect Arizona consumers from abuse in the class action settlement process. The states are asking the appeals court to reverse a lower court approval of a proposed class action settlement that would send $8.5 million to class action attorneys but only $225,000 in cash to consumer class members.
The Arizona Attorney General’s Office is taking the lead in a bi-partisan effort involving 13 states including Arkansas, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming.
