From the supplier: Consumer protection litigation is an essential weapon to lucrative business practices hurtful to the common man and cy pres remedies are a way to improve the enforcement of consumer protection laws while fulfilling ethical duties to absent class clients. Consumer attorneys also need new ways of funding in these times of decreased funding for legal services programs and limited availability of foundation grants for lawsuits. Defendants will try to avoid such awards and suggest a charitable organization receive the unclaimed class funds.
