The key is to reconsider what it means to win, not a tool for leverage. The settlement establishes criteria to demonstrate harm, a process to make the claim, and defines what people are entitled to. The success of the class action approach means more are likely. That means this is an executive and board level discussion, not just a technical resource.”]
