Court Clears Way for BP Oil Spill Class Action Settlement Payments – Last week a divided panel of judges from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied BP’s attempt to bar businesses that can’t directly trace their losses to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill from recovering damages from a $9.2 billion class action settlement.

Update from the President and CEO of Top Class Actions
Â
The girls loved it and Aubrey got to feed a giraffe. That was really cool and we only made it to about half of the park. We rode the skyway and the train and saw lots of really neat animals. We’re going to head back out there in a few weeks. In Phoenix you have to do all of the outdoor fun things before it gets too hot. While my friends on the east coast are freezing we’re already seeing 80+ degree weather. It’s a reminder that SUMMER IS COMING. Time to party hard outside!
On the business side of things we’re about to file our first patent. That will happen by the end of the week. I’m SUPER EXCITED about it! It will be super awesome once we take it from the idea and patent stage to creating the product. I can’t wait to show it to you later this year.
OK, on to the lawsuit updates!
