HLLI's president, Anna St. John wrote an opinion article in the American Spectator arguing that the ‘Sullivan’ precedent, has no basis in the history of the First Amendment, and recent events illustrate why the Court should heed calls to reexamine its misguided precedent.
Director of Litigation Ted Frank appeared on the Jason Rantz Show to discuss a potential legal action against organized activists blocking major highways like Seattle’s I-5, Chicago’s Lake Shore Drive, and New York’s Holland Tunnel.
HLLI advocated to successfully stop $10.5 million in class action funds in the case Hawes v. Macy’s, Inc. from being routed, through settlement cy pres, to a left-wing nonprofit advocacy group with no direct interest in the case. Case No. 1:17-cv-754 (S.D. Ohio 2023).
Holyoak co-founded HLLI with Theodore H. Frank in 2019. She previously served as senior counsel with the Center for Class Action Fairness (CCAF), now part of HLLI. At HLLI, Holyoak helped return hundreds of millions of dollars to consumers and shareholders.
There is another form of charitable giving, which happens without much fanfare, each year. It is called cy pres, and it often results in money diverted away from people to whom it is owed and toward causes they may or may not support.
Alison Frankel wrote about HLLI's successful appeal of a $3.2 million attorneys' fee award in the Wawa Data Security settlement, where the district court awarded attorneys more than the class.
Thanks to HLLI's lawsuit, a California law that restricted the rights of doctors to speak freely to their patients is no more.
Thanks to the courage of HLLI’s clients, Governor Newsom and the California State legislature have conceded defeat and repealed AB 2098, a California state law that restricted doctors’ First Amendment free speech rights by threatening disciplinary action against their license for discussing with patients anything about COVID-19 that the State views as “disinformation” or “misinformation.”
HLLI is pleased that Judge Orrick agreed with our opposition thereby preserving $30 million of the settlement to be distributed to class members like Stephens.
