Scott + Scott Sues Robins Kaplan Over $5M in $5.6B Antitrust Settlement; Amazon Seeks Dismissal of $Multibillion Alexa Lawsuit
A recent legal dispute has emerged between law firms Scott + Scott and Robins Kaplan regarding the allocation of attorney fees from a $5.6 billion antitrust settlement related to swipe fees. The lawsuit highlights the often opaque nature of fee divisions in class action cases, raising questions about how such substantial court-approved fees are distributed. In a related matter, Amazon is seeking to dismiss a multibillion-dollar consumer lawsuit alleging that its Alexa service illegally recorded private conversations without user consent. Additionally, Oracle faces opposition regarding a proposed $115 million privacy settlement as a U.S. judge prepares to consider its final approval.
