- DannyBee 12y agoNo, it will be mailed to class members, and leak that way. They can't keep quiet the terms of a proposed settlement from the 64k engineers they claim to represent :)
- SilasX 12y ago64k engineers ought to be enough for anyone (to reconstruct the initial settlement value).
- salgernon 12y agoI would think the judge need to approve the settlement before the claims are mailed.
- DannyBee 12y agoWhat is currently private are the proposed terms of the settlement. Those get mailed to every member prior to any judge approving or denying them, because the class members can object independently of the lead plaintiffs
- dspeyer 12y agoOther way around. One of the options engineers receiving the mailing have is to go to the hearing and present their opinions on the settlement to the judge. Most won't, but with 64k plaintiffs, most of them long-winded, it'll still need to be a patient judge.
