Peter Driscoll Dan Ward or better yet Branch someone? (forget his last or first name)

Sparrow the only way the agreement can be changed is if the Judge says no to the agreement.

Chief, if the Judge has enough to think it has to go back to both parties and be worked out, he can do so.

But with the deal in hand and the fact that most seem to accept the deal, it will mainly be fees and what the representative of the Class will be offered!

But it is to have a chance to reach everyone and let them write letters to the Judge that their is this delay,
Hopes this answers your question!

Patrick.

Thank you Teen, aside from accepting this agreement and deciding on the lawyers fees there are no other amendments or recommendations that can be made by Judge Barnes? Just wondering.

The purpose of the 35 days leading up to the Feb 14/15 hearing is the following:

- the agreement is now in the hands of the class so they have 35 days to address any doubt/questions/opinions via letter to the Judge or prepare to present in court
- it is a standard procedure for class actions
- the Judge now has 35 days to go over the agreement and decide on lawyer fees

hope this helps

Maybe it takes 35 days to count to 65 million or better yet 887 million one two three four .....hell with that i am bored now

My apologies ChiefD for diverting your topic.

Sparrow

The point of this topic is what is the purpose of this last 35 days ...whats going on now...why do they need 35 days? The judge approved it to be be released what going on now in the offices on the gods with a a small G so to speak?

Understood ChiefD, I was wondering what is the process on the part of Judge Barnes decision on the settlement proposal. Is it a Yes or No end stop. No negotiations allowed. I am not critizing the settlement proposal just wanting to know what can be expected. Thanks.

Sparrow

I thank you for that analogy but I do that think it is actual in this situation

Further to ChieD's question and I may be wording it entirely incorrectly however I will use the analogy found in real estate Offers To Purchase. As an example, when the "Purchaser" makes an "Offer To Purhase" a property and the "Vendor" has the option to "sign back" the original offer with a modified version of that offer but it still remains the same offer on the table. Is this what Judge Barnes can legally do if he believes it was in the best interest of the Class Action and the Settlement Proposal? Or is it a Yes or No end stop. Just wondering how this process works.

We waited from December 5th -January 9th for the judge to review the document so it could be released to the class.

We wait from 9th of Jan to the 14th-15th of February for what?
Class member can write letters but we do not have an vote.

The lawyers on both sides cant change a thing .

What is this time period for?

Is the Judge doing anything during this time? Are the lawyers doing anything?

Signed confused

PS: Does anyone know of a web site that shows procedural rules regarding this settlement phase that would explain it?
