Class Member Objections Clause Samples

Class Member Objections. Any Class Member who wishes to object to the Settlement can serve a timely, signed written objection (“Objection”) upon the Settlement Administrator no later than 120 days from the Court’s entry of the Preliminary Approval Order (the “Objection Deadline”). Class Members who wish to object to the Settlement can also appear at the Final Approval Hearing and orally object to the Settlement without first submitting any written objection to the Settlement Administrator. Each written Objection must (a) set forth the Class Member’s full name, current address, and telephone number; (b) contain the address of the property bringing the Class Member within the scope of the Class; (c) state that the Class Member objects to the Settlement, in whole or in part; (d) state whether the objection applies only to the objector or to the entire Settlement Class; (e) state with specificity the grounds for the objection; (f) provide copies of any documents that the Class Member wishes to submit in support of his or her position; (g) state whether the Class Member intends to appear at the Final Approval hearing; and (h) state whether the Class Member will be represented by separate counsel.

Class Member Objections. A. Any Class Member who intends to object to the fairness or any other aspect of the settlement or the terms of this Agreement must do so in writing by sending a signed objection to the Class Notice Administrator either by first class mail postmarked on or before the Objection Deadline or by otherwise delivering the objection to the Class Settlement Administrator no later than the Objection Deadline. If the Class Member objecting to the settlement wishes to receive a copy of any filing addressing the objection, he or she must provide a mailing address at which he or she may be served as part of the objection. The Class Notice Administrator shall submit a report containing all written objections to the Parties within 7 days of the Objection Deadline and the party moving for final approval shall submit the report, including all written objections in connection therewith. B. Any Class Member may appear at the Final Approval Hearing, either in person or through counsel hired at the Class Member’s own expense, to object to any aspect of the fairness, reasonableness, or adequacy of this Agreement, including Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. Attorneys who intend to make an appearance at the Final Approval Hearing must serve a notice of intention to appear on the Class Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel at the addresses identified in the Class Notice, and file the notice of appearance with the Court, no later than 20 days before the Final Approval Hearing, or as the Court may otherwise direct. C. Any Class Member who fails to comply with the provisions of Sections VII.A and B shall waive and forfeit any and all rights he or she may have to object and shall be bound by all the terms of this Agreement. D. Class Counsel shall have the right, and Defendants shall reserve its right, to respond to any objection on the schedule set by the Court. The Party so responding shall file a copy of its response with the Court and shall serve a copy, by regular mail, hand, or overnight delivery, to the LEGAL02/39181802v5 objecting Class Member or to the individually-hired attorney for the objecting Class Member if they so request, to all Class Counsel, and Defendants’ Counsel.
