Challenges To Lawsuit Rejected By Court Of Appeals
The Court of Appeals has rejected challenges to a lawsuit in relation to diet drug users. The judge from the Third Circuit US Court of Appeals stated that the users of the diet drug received plenty of notice and were properly represented throughout the approval of the diet drug settlement from American Home Products.The court stated: “Applying due process protections to the facts of each set of Appellants, we find that they have already received adequate procedural protections. No collateral review is available when class members have had a full and fair hearing and have generally had their procedural rights protected during the approval of the Settlement Agreement.”
The court added: “Collateral review is only available when class members are raising an issue that was not properly considered by the District Court at an earlier stage in the litigation. Here, the District Court carefully examined the adequacy of representation and procedural protections at the fairness hearing, and that examination duly covered the variations presented by the appeals before us. Thus, the District Court was correct in rejecting all three challenges.”
