Tenth Circuit Rejects Notice Challenge Based on Late Actual Notice to Shareholders

Per BNA's Class Action Litigation Report (Volume 06 Number 21 November 11, 2005, Page 782):

Late receipt of notice of a proposed class settlement plan didn't jeopardize a settlement in a securities case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit decided Oct. 28 (DeJulius v. Sprint Corp., 10th Cir., No. 04-3091, 10/28/05).

The notice plan in the securities class action against Sprint Corp. gave the class as a whole sufficient notice "to flush out any objections that might arise to the fairness of the settlement," the Tenth Circuit said.
