Alaska Supreme Court upholds major consumer settlement. |
|
JDO litigators Howard Trickey, Gary Sleeper and Matt Singer obtained a favorable decision from the Alaska Supreme Court in Neese v. State of Alaska, et al. JDO represented a group of car dealerships that had entered into a consent judgment with the State of Alaska to resolve consumer claims. The agreement was unusual in Alaska history in terms of the number of consumers involved, the size of the civil penalty paid to the State of Alaska, and the scope of relief afforded to each consumer. Nonetheless, a small group of customers sought to derail the settlement so that they could file their own private class action. The Alaska Supreme Court agreed with the trial court that the private group had no standing to interfere with the settlement. This decision has precedent-setting implications for businesses that face consumer claims.
