Activision Facing Class Action Lawsuit Over GHIII - SendMeRSS
2007-12-14 17:57:00 Activision Facing Class Action Lawsuit Over GHIIIThe makers of Guitar Hero III seem to have stepped into a legal hornet’s nest lately. Not long after a lawsuit arose regarding the cover version of a song by The Romantics, has been filed against them. The issue is the fact that despite advertising stereo sound and Dolby Pro Logic II surround-sound on both the box and the manual, the Wii version of Guitar Hero III only outputs mono sound. The company had already made plans to deal with this problem by remastering and reissuing the game to purchasers free of cost. It seems they didn’t act quickly enough or decisively enough however, as the complaints addressed in the filing include the fact that the game has still been on the shelves since the issue was noticed and that no action had been taken to warn consumers of the disparity between the advertising and the actual features of the game. The suit seeks to have the money spent by consumers refunded and to strip the profits...

Automakers to face Canadian class-action lawsuit
2007-09-27 00:16:00 Automakers to face Canadian class-action lawsuit The Toronto-based law firm of Juroviesky and Ricci has announced a class-action lawsuit against automakers due to unfair sales practices. The lawsuit — which is seeking $2 billion — claims automakers have kept vehicle prices artificially high despite the increased value of the Canadian dollar. Currently, a Canadian vehicle can cost as much as 38% more than its U.S. counterpart. The suit was filed on the behalf of four Toronto citizens who claim they paid more for the same car in Canada than they would have in the U.S. According to the National Post, the lawsuit covers consumers who purchased cars in Canada during the two year span from August 2005 to August 2007. Earlier today, Porsche announced it would lower its Canadian pricing by 10% while increasing standard features.
The Most Dangerous Class-Action Lawsuit of Our Time: Suing For Causing Glob
2007-08-23 00:00:00 There is a class-action lawsuit that has been developing under the radar over the last several months. The information reported about it, however, has not been sufficient to flesh out the major issues of the case. The case I am talking about involves the degenerate trial lawyer Gerald Maples. Maples, known for his class-action asbestos litigation, is now taking advantage of poor Hurricane Katrina victims. He should be embarrassed for what he is perpetrating, but like most lawyers, he has no shame.This time, Maples is suing 26 oil companies for contributing to Hurricane Katrina because of their greenhouse gas emissions. Not only should this be thrown out of Federal Court for clear lack of Standing, Maples should be sanctioned for filing a frivolous lawsuit. It is frivolous because there is ample case law preventing grievances such as these from being heard in Federal Court. Instead, the grievances posed in this case by the Katrina victims "is the function of Congress and the C...

Class Action Lawsuit Filings on Decline
2007-03-08 15:36:03 Possible Reasons for the Decline of Filings 1.The passage of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) in 2002 SOX has public companies on the forefront of documenting controls and establishing corporate governance. Some think that this oversight has limited fraud therefore there is less of a need for shareholder class actions. Although the research considers the differences across industries and court circuits there is not supporting evidence that proves a correlation of SOX regulation to the decrease in federal filings. 2.Law firms that are the largest filers are currently tied up in legal battles Firms such as Milberg Weiss have been subject to high profile federal trials that have led to serious losses for their partnership. Lerach Coughlin on the other hand has had much of their resources tied up with the Enron case that has turned into the largest settlement to date and the costs are still adding up. If it were the case that firms were having limited resource problems therefore unable to file...

Class Action Lawsuit Settlement Values on Rise
2007-03-08 15:36:03 Possible Reasons for the Variation in Settlements 1.Investor losses – 50% explanation, single most powerful predictors 2.Accounting firms are a co-defendant Since SOX and scandals like Enron, the legal system, jurors, and the media have been very critical about the professional ethics of accountants. It is not surprising that the average settlement involving accounting firms is nearly double if they were not involved. It is also expected to be a higher settlement if there are allegations of accounting improprieties but if they are deemed irregularities then it is expected to increase even further. A reason for this seems to be pockets of multinational accounting firms are deeper then some of the clients in the lawsuit. The accounting restatements that seem to follow these situations have less of an impression on settlements which is thought to be a nature of their commonality. 3.Cases with any kind of official investigation, consent decree or penalty 4.Institutional inv...
