The law firms of Mirick, O’Connell, DeMallie & Lougee LLP, Gilman and Pastor LLP, and Mager White & Goldstein LLP, and William A. Stibel, counsel for a proposed class of Massachusetts consumers, and Microsoft Corp. jointly announced today that a settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging that Microsoft Corp. violated Massachusetts’ consumer protection and unfair competition laws.
The settlement, which received preliminary approval on June 28 from Judge Judith Fabricant of the Massachusetts Superior Court, Massachusetts will make vouchers available to class members that may be used to buy any manufacturer's desktop, laptop and tablet computers; any software available for sale to the general public and used with those computer products; and specified peripheral devices for use with computers. The total amount of vouchers issued will depend on the number of class members who claims vouchers, and the maximum value of the vouchers that may be issued to class members will be $34 million.
