Racine
WASHINGTON (Legal Newsline) – To file an antitrust lawsuit against Amazon, District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine has chosen Hausfeld LLP – a firm that features a former employee at the D.C. AG’s Office and whose founder once employed a now-deputy AG who signed the complaint.
The contingency fee contract scored by Hausfeld LLP is so potentially lucrative that it includes a stipulation that the firm can’t take more than $55 million in fees. Helping lead the litigation will be antitrust veteran Paul Gallagher, who previously worked at the Department of Justice and the D.C. Attorney General’s Office.

The daughter s father had died in 2009 and the trust fund resulted from his superannuation. The court heard Johnston gambled the funds away over a period of four years, before her daughter turned 18. Legal Aid lawyer Kylie Anderson argued cause could be shown as to why Johnston had not complied with the restitution order and why she shouldn t serve jail time. She said Judge Richard Jones could instead impose a payment plan to which the daughter was agreeable. Because, of course, if she s made to serve the default term there is no payment forthcoming then and the complainant does not receive any of the money, Ms Anderson said.
