What makes you think that a business that makes money reporting the contents of public records would agree to put itself out of business by expunging those records from its database? The lawsuit is against ONE tenant screening company, not against all of them, not against the State of New York, and not against the landlords or the landlord attorneys who brought the thousands and thousands of court proceedings involved.Originally posted by cestmoi123:
Looks like a pretty typical class action settlement: plaintiffs get little or nothing, and the lawyers get paid.
Problem with this particular case is that the interests of the plaintiffs and those of the lawyers are quite different: plaintiffs would benefit primarily from a non-monetary resultion: expungement, but expungement doesn't pay the bills.
15 USC § 1681e (b)."(b) Accuracy of report
Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates."

Recognizing that the requirement in CPLR 2219 (a) that an "order shall be in writing" is often violated in practice, the rule was amended in 1996 to provide,Originally posted by NYHawk:
A note on the file jacket by a judge is not the equivalent of a court order. Only a court order is appealable.
This provision was intended to facilitate an appeal of an order made informally, such as in a conference. The time to appeal an order runs from the service of a notice of entry (CPLR 5513), and the formal steps of entering the order and serving a notice of entry are only possible with a written order."Except in a town or village court or where otherwise provided by law, upon the request of any party, an order or ruling made by a judge, whether upon written or oral application or sua sponte, shall be reduced to writing or otherwise recorded."
