What is the difference between objecting to the Proposed Settlement and excluding myself from the Proposed Settlement?
An objection to the Proposed Settlement is made when you wish to remain a Class Member and be subject to the Proposed Settlement, but disagree with some aspect of the Proposed Settlement. An objection allows your views to be heard in Court. In contrast, exclusion means that you no longer are a Class Member and ultimately do not want to be subject to the Proposed Settlement’s terms and conditions. Once excluded, you lose any right to object to the Proposed Settlement or to the attorneys’ fees because the case no longer affects you.
