From May 2019 to May 2024

A federal judge rejected a proposed $79 million class-action settlement between American Express Co. and a group of merchants, citing a recent discovery that two opposing lawyers in the case had exchanged confidential documents.
In a 44-page decision released Tuesday morning, U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis also removed from the case Gary Friedman, a lawyer who had represented some of the merchants. Mr. Friedman had exchanged documents with rival lawyer Keila Ravelo, who was representing MasterCard Inc. in a case that involved many of the same merchants.
The court "concludes that the improper and disappointing conduct of Co-Lead Class Counsel Gary B. Friedman has fatally tainted the settlement process," wrote Judge Garaufis.
The judge's ruling was unusual because he had granted preliminary approval to the pact last year.
An AmEx spokesman couldn't immediately be reached for comment. A lawyer representing Mr. Friedman couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
