Class Action Lawsuit about to settle (Campbell v. C.R. England)

This lawsuit has taken a fair amount of time, and it sounds like the attorneys have decided to settle without going to trial. I just received a letter to update everyone on the case, and it looks like the final settlement hearing will take place in SLC on September 19, 2015.

Although I would prefer to see CR England get hit by more than a $5,000,000.00 expense, maybe this will still serve as a lesson for them..... but we probably shouldn't hold our breath to wait and see if that dream comes true.

I think you're right, because a $5,000,000 financial hit like this for CRE isn't much for those rich folks to swallow and just keep doing business as usual. IMO, the amount of this so-called settlement is way too low and I'd prefer to see it go to trial with hopes of approaching a $20,000,000 hit to CRE. Until they take a major hit, nothing major will change at that company... and that's not a good thing for the trucking industry.

 

It will be interesting to hear what happens TODAY when this case goes to court out in SLC at 3:00 pm. With a little luck, CRE will get a major spanking by the court...

Let's hope for an update on this case in the near future...

 

My settlement check was just delivered to my house yesterday, and it was for a bit more than what I expected to receive for this case. With a little luck, the CR England bosses and lousy managers/staff have learned a lesson from this $5,000,000.00 financial hit.

Happy New Year to everyone who has dealt with the CR England BS over the years!!!
