The main post on the settlement is still pending (see previous post<\/a>), but with thanks to The Race to the Bottom<\/a>, in the interim a third note.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Lead Plaintiffs PSERS<\/a> and SERS<\/a> (represented by Lead Class Counsel Bernstein Liebhard & Lifshitz LLP<\/a>) have filed two motions in opposition of the settlement in the original US case pending in New Jersey District Court, opposing the severance and dismissal of the opt-out plaintiffs’ claims and in support of enjoinder of Shell and the Opt-Out Plaintiffs from seeking approval of the settlement in the Amsterdam Court of Appeals.<\/p>\n
