No it wont its a separate issue that judge has the authority to resolves

The judge initially was not impressed with fee... But ward refuted that well and the judge never asked follow up questions yet

a change in leagal fees should not effect the deal.

HALIFAX -- A lawyer for veterans who reached a settlement with Ottawa over military pension clawbacks says most of the plaintiffs support the $887.8 million deal.

Dan Wallace, who spoke before a settlement approval hearing that began today in Halifax, says his law firm received 270 emails from veterans, 233 of which back the arrangement.

Wallace says 78 veterans specifically supported the $66.6 million in legal fees that his firm would earn from the settlement if the court approves it.

Defence Minister Peter MacKay has called those fees "grossly excessive," and the Crown is expected to oppose them during the two-day settlement approval hearing.

The settlement was announced last month after veteran Dennis Manuge launched a class-action lawsuit against the federal government in March 2007.

The lawsuit was on behalf of himself and other disabled veterans whose long-term disability benefits were reduced by the amount of the monthly Veterans Affairs disability pensions they received.
