A recent Ninth Circuit decision affirmed the district court’s approval of a “claims made” settlement in the In re California Pizza Kitchen Data Breach Litigation case.
The data breach involved a ransomware attack compromising data of the defendant’s current and former employees.
The settlement provided reimbursement for expenses, lost time, identity theft, credit monitoring, and $100 statutory damages for a California subclass.
The attorney’s fee award was reversed and remanded by the Ninth Circuit due to a miscalculation and the fee award amounting to 45% of the settlement value.
