Prominent class action attorney Adam Levitt has been stripped of the $15,000 incentive award he received as a lead plaintiff in litigation over Southwest Airlines Co. drink coupons after he failed to disclose he was co-counsel with his own lawyer in a separate case.
Levitt (left), who heads Grant & Eisenhofer’s consumer practice group out of Chicago, sued in 2011 after Southwest stopped honoring coupons good for $5 alcoholic drinks that had no expiration dates. He brought the class action as the plaintiff on behalf of more than 2 million passengers who purchased business-select tickets.
