A small victory for the Center for Class Action Fairness LLC won a small victory in In re HP Laserjet Printer Litigation, when the court reduced the fee request for a worthless coupon class action settlement from $2.75M to $2M. On the other hand, the court applied the Bluetooth precedent incorrectly: that $750,000 will revert to HP, rather than the class, and the judge failed to find that the kicker provision provided any benefit to the class. And, remarkably, the fact that the class representative opposed the settlement carried no weight.
