Patrick Cafferty (Cafferty Faucher LLP), assisted by Bernard Persky (Labaton Sucharow LLP) and Daniel Gustafson (Gustafson and Gluek PLLC), has updated an earlier AAI Working Paper, providing a comprehensive data base on the settlements of Indirect Purchaser Class Action Cases. The data shows an aggregate value of $4.4 billion since the mid-1990s, roughly half in cash to class members and half in product (e.g., infant formula and prescription drug cases) or vouchers (Microsoft).
