IN AREAS RANGING FROM OUR SUCCESSFUL CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE TO THE SARBANES OXLEY FINANCIAL REGULATION LAW, TO EXPOSING THE LETHAL IMPACT OF FEDERAL FUEL ECONOMY STANDARDS, THE CENTER FOR LITIGATION HAS ESTABLISHED MAJOR NEW PRECEDENTS FOR COMBATING REGULATIONS THAT RESTRICT CONSUMER CHOICE, STIFLE INNOVATION, AND LIMIT COMPETITION. OVERREGULATION CAN ALSO RESULT FROM CLASS ACTIONS. SUCH LAWSUITS SUFFER FROM AN INHERENT PROBLEM: PLAINTIFFS' LAWYERS HAVE AN INTEREST IN THEIR FEES, WHILE CORPORATE DEFENDANTS HAVE AN INTEREST IN CHEAPLY DISPOSING OF THE CASE. AS A RESULT, WHEN THESE CASES ARE SETTLED THE INTERESTS OF CLASS MEMBERS OFTEN TAKE A BACK SEAT. CEI'S CENTER FOR CLASS ACTION FAIRNESS REPRESENTS CLASS MEMBERS IN OPPOSING UNFAIR SETTLEMENTS. IT HAS WON MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR CONSUMERS AND SHAREHOLDERS, AND ESTABLISHED LANDMARK PRECEDENTS THAT DISCOURAGE THE FILING OF FRIVOLOUS CASES THAT BENEFIT ONLY THE LAWYERS WHO BRING THEM. | Desc |
