U.S. District Judge Gene Pratter has reinstated a $3.2 million legal fee award for consumer lawyers who led a data privacy lawsuit against the convenience store chain Wawa, a decision previously overturned by the 3rd Circuit appeals court. The court had questioned the reasonableness of the fee amount. The case, highlighted by @MikeScarcella, revolves around allegations of data privacy violations by Wawa. The approval comes with no evidence of collusion or side agreements between the class's attorneys and Wawa's defense counsel.
