DEALER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND CLASS ACTION CAPITAL PORTAL
Dealer Management Systems Antitrust Litigation –
The lawsuit alleges that Reynolds and CDK conspired to fix the prices that automobile dealerships were charged for dealer management system software services, and data integration programs and services for extracting, formatting, integrating and organizing data from dealer management systems.
Currently, one of two major defendants has settled for $29.5MM. We expect this fund may grow if the remaining defendant settles.
The proposed class consists of all persons and entities in the Untied States engaged in the business of the retail sale of automobiles who purchased dealer management systems from CDK and/or Reynolds, or any predecessor, successor, subsidiary, joint venture or affiliate from January 1, 2015-October 23, 2018.

The settlement fund will be between $5.54 – $6.24 billion depending on the number of class members who exclude themselves from the settlement.

While claim forms are not available yet and potential claimants do not need to sign up with a third-party service in order to participate in any monetary relief, the difficulty may be understanding what information will be provided by the defendants, how that applies to your organization, as well as what additional information can be provided to the court administrator to ensure a complete claim. No-cost assistance will be available from the court administrator and class counsel during the claim filing period. If the Court grants the settlement final approval and any appeals are resolved, the Court will approve a claim process and establish a claim deadline.
