[EL] another story on $243, 279 that must be paid by anti-top-two plaintiffs

[Richard Winger]

Gautam was not seeking any fees from the intervenors.  The judge made a mistake when he implied that Gautam was seeking any fees from the intervenors.

It's horrifying that you and the 5 other plaintiffs would be stuck with such a large judgment for attorney fees, but I wonder what your attorney, Guatam Dutta, was thinking when he sought ~$2 million in fees (setting aside the question of who prevailed, that would be 4,000 billable hours at $500/hr), and whether, if not for that pursuit, the parties would have been ordered to bear their own attorney fees.

top-most blog post right now; called "Winger Munger and Loser Pays".  Of course all six of us are on the hook, not just me.
