Lawyers Get $90 Million In Black Farmers Class Action
Judge Awards $90.8M in Fees in Black Farmers Class Action
A federal judge in Washington has awarded $90.8 million in fees to the plaintiffs lawyers involved in the high-profile black farmers’ discrimination litigation.
U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman concluded the plaintiffs’ attorneys should receive the maximum amount—7.4 percent—under the terms of a historic settlement with the U.S. Justice Department. The deal set out a fee range between 4.1 percent and 7.4 percent.
The fee award is the latest chapter in a long-running dispute in which African American farmers alleged the U.S. Department of Agriculture discriminated against them in the loan application process. In a consent decree, the USDA acknowledged its practice of discriminating against African Americans in providing farm loans, subsidies and other benefits.
Friedman signed off on a $1.25 billion common fund from which to compensate eligible class members and their lawyers. Justice Department attorneys argued that the plaintiffs’ attorneys were not entitled to 7.4 percent. The government’s lawyers said the case was neither long in duration nor complex in scope. MOREHERE
