The bad thing is the manner in which it was settled. Damages in a case like this should have been easy to determine and the identity and address of the claimants was readily available from the agencies records. I don’t have a problem with the fees if the time was spent, and the damages figure was not a cop-out. The payout of the settlement money is, however, suspect.
