The litigation spin wars continue to increase in intensity and volume. News of more spin arrived through an October 15, 2014 post at ThePopTort. The post starts out as follows:
“Today, the Center for Justice & Democracy at New York Law School released a brand new study, “First Class Relief: How Class Actions Benefit Those Who Are Injured, Defrauded and Violated.” The study is a compilation of more than 150 recent class actions that have been litigated and settled since 2005. It’s an examination of a wide array of cases, and I mean wide: cases involved predatory and discriminatory lending, like illegal auto finance and mortgage loan mark-ups, payday loans, unlawful practices targeting Servicemembers, and Ponzi schemes. Many race and gender employment discrimination class actions. Nine antitrust class action settlements that distributed over $1 billion to tens of thousands of consumers and small and medium-sized businesses from companies who participated in criminal price-fixing cartels! Wow.”
