Objecting. Class Members may appear at the Final Approval Hearing and be heard. The Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, either jointly or individually, to respond to any objection.
Objecting. If you disagree with any part of the settlement (including the attorneys’ fees) but do not want to opt out, you may object. You must give reasons why you object, and say whether your objection applies to just you as a class member, or the entire class. Your views will be presented to the Court. The Court can only approve or deny the settlement as is—it cannot change the terms of the settlement. You may, but don’t need to, hire your own lawyer to help you. To object, you can submit a letter to the settlement administrator or appear at the final hearing. If you wish to submit a written objection, it must:
Objecting. Any Class Member that wishes to object to the settlement must file the objection, along with any supporting briefs and supporting documents, with the Clerk of Court within the Notice Period. The objection must include a written statement (1) objecting to the settlement, (2) setting for the objection’s grounds, (3) setting forth the specific reasons for the objection, including any legal or evidentiary support for the objection, (4) stating whether the Class Member intends to appear and object to the settlement at the Final Approval Hearing, and (5) containing the Class Member’s name, address, and telephone number. The Class Member must sign and date the objection. The objection must include documents sufficient to prove the objector’s membership in the Class, such as proof of employment. Class Members who intend to object and desire to present evidence at the Settlement Fairness Hearing must include in their written objection or notice of appearance the identity of any witnesses they may call to testify and exhibits they intend to introduce into evidence at the hearing. The Class Member must send a copy of all of these items to Class Counsel, the Administrator, and Defendants’ Counsel. Unless the Court orders otherwise, any Class Member who does not object in the manner described above will be deemed to have waived any objection and will be forever foreclosed from making any objection to the proposed settlement.
Objecting. If you are a Class member and do not exclude yourself, you can tell the Court you don’t like the Settlement or some part of it. This is called objecting to the Settlement and the Court will consider your views. To do so, you must file your objection with the Court and send copies by regular or express mail to the Snap-on Class Action Settlement Claims Administrator, LECG, at _______________________________________ so that it is received on or before __________. Your written objection must include (1) your name, address, and telephone number; (2) a statement of your views regarding the settlement; (3) any supporting documentation you wish to submit; and (4) a reference to this Litigation. If you wish to appear and present your objection orally at the Fairness Hearing, your written objection must contain a notice that you intend to appear and be heard, a statement of the positions you intend to present at the hearing and any supporting arguments. You may, but need not, appear in the Litigation through your own counsel. If you do so, you will be responsible for your own attorneys’ fees and expenses. You may also comment in support of the Settlement by following the same procedure set forth above.
Objecting. Subject to Court approval, the notice contemplated by Section 6 shall state that each member of the CMWA Class seeking to object to the settlement must file with the Court and serve on Plaintiffs’ Counsel such objection within thirty (30) days of the date of mailing of the notice as set forth in paragraph 6a. Any such objection will be filed immediately with the Court by Plaintiffs’ Counsel. In seeking approval of the settlement, the Parties shall request that no person shall be entitled to be heard at the Final Approval hearing (whether individually or through separate counsel) or to object to the settlement, and no written objections or briefs submitted by any person shall be received or considered by the Court at the Final Approval hearing unless such materials are timely mailed as set forth herein. The Parties shall request that members of the CMWA Class who fail to mail timely written objections be deemed to have waived any objection and shall be foreclosed from making any objection (whether by appeal or otherwise) to the settlement.
Objecting. The provisions governing the quantum of votes cast in objection to the Proposed Amendment set out in the STID Proposal are set out in paragraph 1 of schedule 2 (STID Decision Making Protocol) to the STID (the STID Decision Making Protocol).
