The move comes a day after lawyers said the tobacco companies’ creditors approved a proposed settlement that would see the companies pay out a total of $32.5-billion
Lawyers representing tens of thousands of Quebec kers in two class-action lawsuits against three major tobacco manufacturers will seek to receive more than $900-million in fees for their work in the landmark case that has spanned decades.
More than $4-billion is earmarked for the plaintiffs in the lawsuits, and the payment requested by their lawyers represents 22 per cent of that sum. The fees requested by counsel in the class actions total $906,180,000 plus taxes, and include tens of millions of dollars in costs incurred over the course of the litigation that began in the late 1990s as well as future services to manage the claims process, spokespeople said in a statement.
