Mich.) ********* * Notable Class Action Settlements in 2016 ------------------------------------------ Settlement Amount Class Action ----------------- ------------ $10,033,000,000 In Re: Volkswagen "Clean Diesel" Marketing, Sales Practices, and Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2672 (N.D. Cal.) The litigation stemmed from Volkswagen's admission in 2015 that it had secretly and deliberately installed a defeat device -- software designed to cheat emissions tests and deceive federal and state regulators -- in nearly 500,000 Volkswagen- and Audi- branded TDI diesel vehicles sold to American consumers. Litigation quickly ensued, and hundreds of consumers' lawsuits were assigned to this Court as a multidistrict litigation. After five months of intensive negotiations conducted under the guidance of a Court-appointed Settlement Master, Plaintiffs and Defendants Volkswagen AG, Audi AG, and Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. reached a settlement that resolves consumer claims concerning the 2.0-liter TDI diesel vehicles. Final settlement approval granted on October 25, 2016. Judge: Hon. Charles R. Breyer Lead Counsel for Plaintiffs: Elizabeth J. Cabraser, Esq.

The lawsuit alleges that several financial institutions engaged in anticompetitive acts that affected the price of credit default swaps and CDS-based products in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1. In and around 2008 and 2009, Defendants allegedly conspired to prevent new entrants from successfully introducing exchange trading venues and electronic platforms that would have increased competition and transparency in the CDS market. Class Plaintiffs estimate that the damages the Settlement Class could potentially seek at trial were roughly $8 billion to $12 billion. The settlements represent a recovery of 15% to 23% of the estimated damages. Final settlement approval granted on April 18, 2016. Judge: Hon. Denise L.

City of Los Angeles, Case No. 2:10-cv-05782 (C.D. Cal.). Filed in 2010, the lawsuit alleges that the City of Los Angeles violated federal and state disability access laws by denying individuals with mobility disabilities access to sidewalks, intersections, crosswalks, streets, curbs, curb ramps, walkways, pedestrian rights of way, pedestrian undercrossings, pedestrian overcrossings, or other pedestrian pathways or walks owned, controlled or maintained by the City in whole or in part. The settlement requires the City to make its pedestrian facilities accessible, including its public sidewalks, crosswalks, and walkways. To do this, the City is required to spend roughly $1.37 billion over the 30 years to remove or fix access barriers. The $1.37 billion will be spent at the rate of about $31 million per year on access improvements and repairs to the City's pedestrian facilities. This is approximately five times the amount of funds that the City typically spends on such access improvements at the present time. Final settlement approval granted on August 26, 2016. Judge: Hon.

This document relates to: The Polyether Polyol Cases, MDL No. 1616 Case No. 04-1616-JWL (D. Kan.). The Plaintiff class alleged that Dow Chemical Company and other manufacturers conspired to fix prices for certain urethane chemical products, in violation of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1. The Court certified a class consisting of purchasers of the products from any defendant from January 1, 1999, through December 31, 2004. During the course of the litigation, plaintiffs reached settlements with the other defendants for amounts totaling $139,300,000. The claim against Dow, the remaining defendant, was tried to a jury over a period of four weeks, and on February 20, 2013, the jury awarded plaintiffs damages in the amount of $400,049,039, while finding that such amount did not include any damages for the period prior to November 24, 2000. The Court then modified the class to exclude purchases in 2004, and it eventually entered judgment against Dow in the amount of $1,060,847,117, an amount that accounted for statutory trebling and a setoff for the prior settlements. Dow appealed, but the Tenth Circuit affirmed the judgment. Dow then filed a petition for certiorari in the Supreme Court. While the petition for certiorari was pending, plaintiffs and Dow reached the settlement, which included a release of all claims by class members based on purchases within the entire class period. Final settlement approval granted on July 29, 2016. Judge: Hon. John W.

Bank of America Corporation, et al., Defendants, Case No. 11-CV-00733- WHP (S.D.N.Y.) The case involves untrue and misleading statements made by BofA and its executives in the time period following the Countrywide and Merrill Lynch acquisitions when Defendants were confronted by problems created or magnified by the poor quality of the mortgage loans originated and securitized by the acquired companies. The case concerns Defendants' failure to tell the truth about (1) BofA's reliance on an inadequate mortgage processing and tracking system referred to as MERS; and (2) its exposure to billions of dollars in repurchase claims stemming from what Defendants knew were faulty mortgages securitized and sold into the marketplace as residential mortgage-backed securities in the years leading up to the 2008 financial crisis.

Cir., Jefferson County). The litigation, which was initially filed in October 2003, arises out of the earlier settlement of various securities and derivative lawsuits that were resolved in 1999. Those securities and derivative lawsuits alleged that MedPartners Inc. had made a series of false and misleading statements concerning a planned merger and concerning MedPartners' overall financial condition. Plaintiffs allege that, during the course of the MedPartners Securities Litigation, the Defendants misrepresented and suppressed information concerning the amount of insurance available to settle the MedPartners Securities Litigation. Plaintiffs also allege that the settlement of the MedPartners Securities Litigation would have been much higher if additional facts had been known about the excess insurance policy. Due to several corporate structure changes through the intervening years, MedPartners is now known as Caremark Rx, L.L.C. On August 15, 2012, the Court certified the Class pursuant to Rule 23(b)(3) of the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure. The order was affirmed by the Supreme Court of Alabama in CVS Caremark Corp. v. Lauriello, 175 So. 3d 596 (Ala. 2014). The case was later retitled Johnson v. Caremark Rx, L.L.C. A trial date of May 16, 2016, was pending when the Settlement was reached. Final settlement approval granted on August 15, 2016. Judge: Hon. Pat Ballard Counsel for the Plaintiffs and Plaintiff Class: John W. Haley, Esq. Scott A. Powell, Esq. Bruce J. McKee, Esq. Brian M.

State Street Corp. et al., No. 11-cv-10230 (D. Mass.) The plaintiffs claim that State Street, as custodian bank to a number of public pension funds, including ATRS, was responsible for foreign exchange (FX) trading in connection with its clients' global trading. Over a period of many years, State Street systematically overcharged those pension fund clients, including Arkansas, for those FX trades. Despite actually transacting FX exchanges within the legitimately recognized "range of the day," State Street reported to its clients exchange rates far less favorable to those clients. Due to the lack of regulation and transparency in the FX industry, it was all but impossible for State Street's public pension funds to detect this ongoing deception. After surviving a motion to dismiss, review and analysis of several million pages of documents, consultation with experts, and multiple negotiation and mediation sessions, the parties came to an agreed- upon settlement. State Street also separately entered into agreements with the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Department of Labor.

Timko, and Gay Kent, Defendants, Case No. 4:14-cv-11191 (E.D. Mich.) Investors alleged that Defendants violated the federal securities laws by making false and misleading statements and omitting material information about GM's product warranty and recall liabilities, internal controls and commitment to safety. They argued that GM's long belated recall of dangerously unsafe cars over ignition switch safety defects has led to the loss of billions of dollars of market value for GM investors.
