Bussie v. Allmerica Financial Corp.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that favorable reaction of class to settlement, albeit not dispositive, constitutes strong evidence of fairness of proposed settlement
• suggesting that a court should “review[] the objectors’ stated concerns generously, as it would those presented by any pro se litigant”
• finding the class representative to be adequate because, “[l]ike the [c]lass overall, [the plaintiff] fell victim to [the defendant’s] alleged scheme and, as such, the representatives and the [c]lass share the same interest in seeking remediation for their injury”
