The Financial Times (6/24, Peel) reports that according to legal experts, a higher proportion of potential applicants to BP’s $20 billion escrow fund are likely to opt out and launch private lawsuits than occurred with the 9/11 victims’ fund. Doug Kysar of Yale Law School, for example, said he thought the found would not be “as attractive a compromise for plaintiffs in this case. There is a business case to be made for plaintiff lawyers to stay out of the fund and instead go to the courts and look for the jackpot verdict.”
