Judge Marina Corodemus, Talalai v. Cooper Tire & Rubber Co., (Oct. 30, 2001) No. MID-L-8839-00-MT (N.J. Super. Ct. Middlesex Co.): The parties have crafted a notice program which satisfies due process requirements without reliance on an unreasonably burdensome direct notification process. …The form of the notice is reasonably calculated to apprise class members of their rights. The notice program is specifically designed to reach a substantial percentage of the putative settlement class members.
Judge Marina Corodemus, Talalai v. Cooper Tire & Rubber Co., (Oct. 29, 2001) No. L-8830-00-MT (N.J. Super. Ct. Middlesex Co.): I saw the various bar graphs for the different publications and the different media dissemination, and I think that was actually the clearest bar graph I’ve ever seen in my life . . . it was very clear of the time periods that you were doing as to each publication and which media you were doing over what market time, so I think that was very clear.
Judge Marina Corodemus, Talalai v. Cooper Tire & Rubber Co., (Sept. 13, 2002) No. L-008830.00 (N.J. Super. Ct. Middlesex Co.): Here, the comprehensive bilingual, English and Spanish, court-approved Notice Plan provided by the terms of the settlement meets due process requirements. The Notice Plan used a variety of methods to reach potential class members. For example, short form notices for print media were placed . . .throughout the United States and in major national consumer publications which include the most widely read publications among Cooper Tire owner demographic groups.
