Attorneys Target Holographic Weapons Owners for Million-Dollar Windfall
This week, the Competitive Enterprise Institute Center for Class Action Fairness (CCAF) filed an amicus brief in Foster v. L-3 Communications EOTech, a class-action case over defective holographic weapon sights.
The class action settlement in EOTech is an excellent example of how attorneys can create settlements that rationalize excessive attorneys’ fees, which ultimately come at the expense of consumers. According to CCAF senior attorney Melissa Holyoak, there are two things that are holographic about this case: the target reticle superimposed in EOTech’s products and the illusion of relief this settlement provides.
“In this case, class counsel constructed a settlement where they would make $10 million—or around $1,800 per hour—while their clients would receive a coupon worth $22.50,” said Holyoak. “Not only should the court deny settlement approval because the lawyers are getting nearly three times what the class would get, but it also includes ‘clear sailing and kicker’ provisions that prevent the court from correcting the imbalance.”
According to Holyoak, class counsel has led the court to believe their settlement provided $51 million to the class, but it actually only provides approximately $3.5 million in class benefit.
