What is the value of a settlement in the class action?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Allen v. Bedolla, 787 F.3d 1218 (9th Cir. 2015):

As a whole, the settlement appears to afford valuable relief, much by injunction, that will benefit the class.5 The district court noted the existence of this injunctive relief, but did not make express findings about the value of the injunctive relief, cf. Bluetooth, 654 F.3d at 944, findings that might have given more justification for the reasonableness of class counsel's fee award. Similarly, though class counsel represented that the fee award was less than his lodestar figure, there were no express findings from the district court on what it considered to be a reasonable lodestar amount. Cf. Bluetooth, 654 F.3d at 945 (citing Vizcaino v. Microsoft Corp., 290 F.3d 1043, 105051 (9th Cir.2002) ) (noting that district courts are encouraged to cross-check the two fee-calculating methods against one another, to ensure a fair and reasonable fee).
