Subject: [blindlaw] nfb v. target

To answer the recent questions posted about the Target case, the final settlement hearing took place on March 9th.  I understand from our counsel in California, Larry Paradis of DRA and Josh Konecky, that there were no objectors and the Judge was pleased with the resolution of the case.  The settlement is not fully "final" until the time for any appeals has run - which is about 30 days.  Given there were no objectors, it is highly unlikely that any appeals will be filed.  The judge has not yet made a ruling on attorneys fees, but that will not hold up enforcement of the settlement.



As for disbursements, assuming there are no appeals, the claims administer has 45 days from the final approval date to disburse funds to claimants.  I do not know the final tally of approved claimants, though I think there were several hundred.  I will pass that information along when I have it.



We will now be working on enforcing the settlement commitments that Target made with respect to the accessibility of the website.
