Some judges seem to have a hard time recognizing that some lawyers regularly benefit from settlements in lawsuits they file as class actions.
This is the ultimate issue in a class action settlement now on appeal in a lender force-placed insurance case: Some lawyers regularly benefit from settling class actions. That is a trigger not so much for judgment as for scrutiny; it is a signal to look closely. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals is being asked to recognize this as a fact, because it is in the record of the case on appeal filed on behalf of Ms. Margo Perryman v. Ocwen Loan Servicing, appeal docketed, No. 15-14630 (11th Cir. October 14, 2015).
