PACER users rejoice! You may be getting a refund. Those aggrieved over having to dole out dough for court documents are poised to receive $100 million in refunds under a proposed settlement to a class-action lawsuit that challenged the overcharges.
The settlement is expected to be paid out of a Justice Department fund that covers such expenses in connection with suits against the U.S. Government. | Patrick Semansky/AP PhotoJournalists, academics and policy advocates have long complained of being ripped off by the federal court system for online access to court filings.
“Today’s settlement reflects a long-awaited recognition by the judiciary that it can no longer use the fees as a profit center to fund unrelated activities,” said Deepak Gupta, a partner at the firm. “Today’s settlement in this historic class action is a major step towards transparency, access to justice, and public understanding of the federal courts,” said National Veterans Legal Services Program Executive Director Paul Wright.
After an initial ruling against the government in 2018 from U.S. District Court Judge Ellen Huvelle, judiciary budget personnel stopped charging the PACER fund to pay for four categories of items that Huvelle found were insufficiently related to public access to be supported by the online access fees.
