Credit Card Litigation
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PHARMACIES
THAT ACCEPT VISA OR MASTERCARD
|
Judge Gleeson, the United States District Court Judge presiding
over In re Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount
Antitrust Litigation, has determined that certain information
regarding the settlement previously displayed on this website, and
others like it, was misleading.
As a result, Judge Gleeson has ordered that this website post this advisory. This is not the Court-approved Case Website. The Court is concerned, for example, that some class members who visited this site may not have fully understood their rights with regard to the proposed settlement and therefore may have made decisions without complete information. For information such as the Court-approved Notice, which provides a detailed description of the proposed settlement and class members’ rights and options in connection with the proposed settlement, please visit: www.paymentcardsettlement.com. Judge Gleeson recommends that you visit that site before deciding what action, if any, you wish to take regarding the settlement. You may also want to contact the attorneys appointed by the Court to represent the interests of the Class. |
