WESTERN STATE WHOLESALE NATURAL GAS ANTITRUST LITIGATION
This lawsuit alleges that the Defendants and Co-Conspirators engaged in an unlawful agreement or conspiracy to manipulate, fix, raise or maintain the prices of natural gas between January 1, 2000 to October 31, 2002.
The settlement class consists of all industrial and commercial purchasers who for their own use or consumption and not for resale purchased natural gas from a company other than a local distribution company or utility in Kansas, Missouri or Wisconsin.
The deadline to file a claim is December 6, 2019.
Class Action Capital previously represented many clients in the prior rounds of these Settlements. On average, our clients recovered $0.15 per Dekatherm – or approximately 2% of their applicable natural gas spend over the class period – a figure that could be quite substantial.
If you would like Class Action Capital to file a claim on your behalf, all we would need is the authorization form at the bottom of this site completed and a sample size of your current utility invoices to calculate your claim. We would then estimate purchase volume over the class period using a formula previously approved by the administrator. We do not expect you to still have records from the class period, so we can use as little or as much data that is currently available to you.
