You linked to an example of statute preventing bad behavior. Yes, it took years, the law moves slowly, but it happened. Retroactive compensation was provided for those affected, but most importantly, corporate policies changed.
- MangoToupe 1y ago> but most importantly, corporate policies changed. How confident are you about that? Given how small the compensation was, does this really represent much victory? Do you really think class action lawsuits as they stand present much disincentive?
- modeless 1y agoYes, class action lawsuits in general and this one in particular present strong disincentives that companies respond to, especially after they lose.
- MangoToupe 1y agoWell, we'll wait and see. I don't agree on any level but time will certainly tell.
- modeless 1y agoIt's been ten years since the last settlement was finalized in those cases. They were a success and we don't need to wait any longer to decide that.
- MangoToupe 1y agoRight but to imply "lack of prosecution implies lack of wrongdoing" is just a non-starter.
