9th Circ. Nixes $14.8M Atty Fees: The Ninth Circuit sent back a lower court’s approval of $14.8 million in fees for the attorneys representing a class of millions of owners of allegedly defective Sears and Whirlpool dishwashers, according to a report in Law360. In a unanimous, published decision penned by U.S. Circuit Judge Kenneth K. Lee, the panel said that while U.S. District Judge was right to approve the California federal court settlement, the attorney fees were off-base.
