SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT REACHED IN ORMOND V. ANTHEM
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS
TWO OBJECTORS APPEAL SETTLEMENT
On November 20, 2011, the trial court approved the $90 million settlement, class representative awards, attorneys’ fees and expenses, overruling the three objections that had been filed.
Two of the settlement objectors have now filed appeals challenging the Court-approved settlement. It is impossible for Class Counsel to predict how or when the Court of Appeals will rule. Anthem has paid the $90 million into an interest-bearing escrow account, but settlement checks cannot be sent to class members until after the appeals have been resolved, which may take up to two years.
