From the supplier: The jurisdictional issues and specific legal situations in Kamilewicz v. Bank of Boston divert attention from the fact that class counsel can be held liable by their former clients for predatory fee retention. Other circumstances could result in courts' analogizing class settlements with contracts and adopting the dissenting opinion in Kamilewicz. Class counsel should be careful to assure the reasonableness of counsel fees is completely litigated and jurisdiction over class members is proper.
