How much notice do class members receive before a class action settlement?

Class members typically receive notice before a class action settlement in Hawaii. The exact amount of notice and the specific content of the notice depends on the case and the court. Generally, all class members should receive at least 60 days’ notice prior to the settlement. In some cases, class members may be given more time to review the settlement. The notice should include information about the lawsuit and settlement, including the full terms of the agreement and what the class members may receive as part of the settlement. It should also include instructions on how to submit a claim, if any, or how to opt-out of the settlement and pursue their own legal action. Class members should be aware that if they do not respond to the notice, they are not necessarily disqualified from being a part of the settlement. However, their rights may become extinguished if they fail to take action. The court also supervises the process of notifying class members and may order additional notice if needed. Furthermore, the court may approve the notice for use in advertisement or other publications to ensure that all class members are aware of the settlement.
