Judge Delays Fee Request in Eggs Price-Fixing Case

Gulf Coast Oil Rig Disaster Sets Off Gusher of Work for Attorneys
From Texas to Florida, the litigation rush is on, in the wake of the April 20 oil rig explosion off the coast of Louisiana. "It's sort of like a gold rush for clients," says Brian O'Neill, lead plaintiffs counsel in the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill. Plaintiffs attorney Mark Lanier says the Gulf Coast oil spill is much bigger than Valdez. "This makes the Valdez look like an oil leak in a car," Lanier says. "This is going to be, in my estimation, the largest tort we've had in this country."

1st Circuit Rejects a Class Action Ban
The 1st Circuit is the second federal circuit to tell a company offering consumer services that it cannot simply ban class actions by inserting a provision in an arbitration clause in its contracts. Consumer lawyers have lauded the court's decision as the first to recognize that bans deprive plaintiffs of the ability to exercise their statutory rights under federal antitrust law. The 9th Circuit and the California Supreme Court have struck down class action waivers as illegal under California law.
Toyota Cleared to Depose Non-California Plaintiffs in MDL
A federal judge has given Toyota Motor Corp. permission to depose 10 plaintiffs among the 200 class actions asserting economic damages tied to sudden uncontrolled acceleration — and gave both sides four months to identify which case will be the first to go to trial. The judge who is overseeing the multidistrict litigation rejected Toyota's request to depose plaintiffs in 47 jurisdictions outside California. But he also dismissed the position of lead plaintiffs' lawyer Marc Seltzer (pictured) that the depositions were "unnecessary and burdensome."Trending Stories
