Jim, consider this..from today: Mark McMinimy – Tobacco: Celebrity Class Action Likely to Generate More Smoke Than Heat “A lottery ticket” is how one of our legal sources depicted the class action lawsuit filed by celebrity lawyers Johnny Cochran and Michael Hausfeld earlier this week against domestic cigarette makers in federal court. To date, federal courts have been uniformly hostile to tobacco class actions and our source said this complaint was not likely to emerge as a “giant killer.” The suit alleges that cigarette companies fraudulently targeted youth with ads to entice them to take up smoking and in doing so, violated racketeering laws. It seeks to recover money that was spent on cigarettes by under-age smokers. Like most other tobacco class actions, our expectation is that this one is likely to run up against the problem that the diversity of the class makes it unsuitable to proceed as a class action. have a nice weekend doc
