Dick Smith class action parties propose $25m settlement
Share
Former Dick Smith Holdings shareholders who sued over the 2016 collapse of the consumer electronics retailer will split a little under $6 million, under a $25 million settlement proposal which will not cover costs incurred by the class action funders.
Parties in a trio of class actions brought against Dick Smith Electronics, former directors Nicholas Abboud and Michael Potts and 10 insurers over the retailer s 2013 public listing have reached an in-principle settlement of $25 million.
However, the settlement needs to be approved by the Supreme Court of NSW.
If the settlement is agreed upon by the court, a little under $6 million will be distributed to Dick Smith shareholders.
