Stung after being labeled a serial objector for opposing the $1.4 billion Equifax data breach agreement, class action critic Theodore Frank has lashed out in a motion to sanction consumer class counsel and remove U.S. District Court Chief Judge Thomas Thrash from the case in the Northern District of Georgia.

Frank filed the April 6 sanctions motion in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in response to separate motions by the consumer class counsel to expedite five objectors’ appeals and have them each ante up a $20,000 bond while their appeals are pending. Frank is litigation director of the Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute in Washington, D.C.
