2017 Summer Webinar #4: Four Simple Words – The Standard for Approval of Class Action Settlement Notice and the Extinction of “Preliminary Approval”
Wednesday, August 9, 12pm - 1pm Pacific Time
Instructors: Dena Sharp, Partner, Girard Sharp LLP; Daniel Hutchinson, Partner, Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP
“Fair, adequate, and reasonable.” Those four simple words belie the complexity of the class action settlement approval process. In this presentation, experienced class action litigators will discuss “preliminary approval,” the first step of the court’s settlement approval process and a necessary hurdle to clear before you can notify class members of any settlement. Recent years have seen an increase in denials of preliminary approval and a likely forthcoming rule change will eliminate the term “preliminary approval” from our vernacular. If you haven’t moved for preliminary approval recently, you will want to join our instructors Dena Sharp and Daniel Hutchinson for their guidebook on the new topography of settlement approval.
