Welcome to the Fliegelman v. The Talbots, Inc. Class Action Website
IF YOU PURCHASED MERCHANDISE FROM TALBOTS
A CALIFORNIA COURT AUTHORIZED THIS NOTICE.
THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FROM A LAWYER.
A settlement (the “Settlement”) has been proposed in the class action lawsuit referenced above pending in the Superior Court of the State of California in the County of Ventura (the “Action”). If the Court gives final approval to the Settlement, The Talbots, Inc. (“Talbots”) will provide, for each eligible Class Member (eligibility described in the "Frequently Asked Questions" section of this website) one Merchandise Credit for $12.50 off a future purchase (no minimum purchase) at a Talbots outlet store in California, subject to the additional conditions explained on this website.
Your legal rights are affected whether you act or don’t act.

OBJECT |
You may write to the Court about why you object to (i.e., don’t like) the Settlement and think it shouldn’t be approved. Submitting an objection does not exclude you from the Settlement. |
Deadline: November 1, 2018 |

GO TO THE “FAIRNESS HEARING” |
The Court will hold a “Fairness Hearing” to consider the Settlement, the request for attorneys’ fees and costs of the lawyers who brought the Action, and the Representative Plaintiff’s request for a service award for bringing the Action. You may, but are not required to, speak at the Fairness Hearing. If you intend to speak at the Fairness Hearing, you must also submit a “Notice of Intention to Appear” indicating your intent to do so. |
Hearing Date and Time: November 20, 2018, 9:00 a.m. |
|
DO NOTHING |
If you received direct notice of this Settlement via email or postcard, you will receive one (1) Merchandise Credit for $12.50 off any purchase (no minimum purchase). If you did not receive direct notice, you will receive nothing, unless you submit a timely and valid Claim Form. You will also give up your right to object to the Settlement and you will not be able to be part of any other lawsuit about the legal claims in this case. |
N/A |
These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained on this website.
The Court in charge of this Action has preliminarily approved the Settlement and must decide whether to give final approval to the Settlement. The relief provided to Class Members will be provided only if the Court gives final approval to the Settlement and, if there are any appeals, after the appeals are resolved in favor of the Settlement. Please be patient.
