Lawyers gouging their clients lead to class action lawsuit. "According to the lawsuit, lead plaintiff Kalair was charged $2,673 for photocopies when his case ended in 2022. Meanwhile, Montrose was charged an even higher amount: a total of $4,465.85 for photocopies at the end of his case, according to a copy of his disbursement fee bill" #ontario #law #lawyers #gouging #classaction

$4,500 for photocopies? Proposed class action takes aim at ‘exorbitant’ fees charged by lawyers

Toronto lawyer Peter Waldmann says law firms routinely overcharge clients for photocopies, printing, transport and other disbursements. He's hoping to put a stop to the practice.

All that said, this does nothing to help the people who were already rendered to #ElSalvador illegally by the #Trump admin. That’s a separate case. Which is why this issue should be addressed in a #ClassAction as
argued yesterday before #SCOTUS.

Justice Kagan asks Sauer to assume that #Trump’s EO on #BirthrightCitizenship is unconstitutional. Since Sauer is questioning whether a #ClassAction lawsuit would be viable in this matter, how long would it take for #SCOTUS to resolve the matter if everyone had to sue individually? Kagan’s question gets at the practical impact of abolishing #NationwideInjunctions: She is suggesting it would be a chaotic process for many individual plaintiffs across the country fighting for citizenship. #law

The #SCOTUS majority ALSO preemptively makes clear (in response to #Alito's written #dissent), that the government cannot get around #ClassAction treatment by agreeing to give notice to the class plaintiffs.

In rejecting jurisdictional arguments raised by the dissent, they bolster the lawsuits challenging the #AlienEnemiesAct.

The lawsuit, filed on May 8 in Philadelphia, seeks to represent a class of everyone who signed or referred someone to sign the petition & was not paid in full.

#Musk’s #PAC also pledged to give away $1 million daily to someone who signed the petition in support of Constitutional guarantees to freedom of speech & the right to bear arms. A separate proposed #ClassAction has claimed the giveaway was a #fraud.

#Musk's election #PAC sued over alleged failure to pay $100 to petition signers

#ElonMusk's political action committee failed to pay registered swing state voters as promised during last year's US election in return for signing a petition or referring other voters, acc/to a proposed federal #ClassAction lawsuit.

@karlauerbach @GreenFire ...when in fact that is a design flaw they knew of!

The order comes nearly a decade after #NYC’s jails, which include the #RikersIsland complex, fell under #federal #oversight in the settlement of a #ClassAction lawsuit. The agreement focused on curbing the use of #force & #violence toward both inmates & correction officers. A court-appointed monitor issued regular reports on the persistent mayhem.
