A lawsuit the nonprofit House of Hope filed against the City of Dickson nearly three years ago was recently settled after a Dickson City Council vote this month. The settlement amount was $20,000, which was to pay for The House of Hope’s legal fees, said Dickson city attorney Jerry Smith. The House of Hope was seeking $300,000 based on the organization’s leadership belief that the city prevented the nonprofit from being able to “fulfill its religious mission to minister to the needs of those whom it serves” by voting against a homeless shelter in the Downtown Dickson area. In the lawsuit, the organization’s leadership said the plan was to provide faith-based counseling, a prayer room, food, clothing, shelter and transportation to “homeless and needy individuals.”

One of the absent class members challenged the settlement, asserting that the cy pres award is not “fair, reasonable, and adequate” compensation to class members and, without the cy pres component, class counsels’ attorney’s fees were unreasonable.

A group of US consumers has been given the go-ahead by the Supreme Court to sue Apple over app prices. The iPhone users argued that there is no alternative place to buy an iPhone app, but that Apple takes a 30% commission on every sale, so therefore they are being overcharged. They claim that this puts Apple in breach of anti-trust laws. Apple said that it was an agent for app developers and that it neither owned nor sold the apps itself.
