Whether Class Counsel and the claims administrator must turn over undelivered or uncashed checks payable to approved claimants in federal class action cases to state unclaimed property agencies or if Class Counsel can instead convert the money to additional attorney fees with the remaining amounts redistributed to other class members?
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether Class Counsel and the claims administrator must turn over undelivered or uncashed checks payable to approved claimants in federal class action cases to state unclaimed property agencies or if Class Counsel can instead convert the money to additional attorney fees with the remaining amounts redistributed to other class members? 2. Whether due process allows Class Counsel, who were concurrently seeking to convert undelivered checks into attorney fees, to cause a class action claimant’s approved claim to be reopened and audited over a year after its approval, subjected to a heightened and different standard of review than other claimants, but not provide any meaningful judicial review mechanism for the new decision?
