SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 17 – Tableau Software,
Inc. was sued civilly in 2017
for securities law
violations.
On
October 30, 2020 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
John G. Koeltl, to whom the
case was assigned in July
2017, held a proceeding. Inner
City Press covered it.
The issue
is now discovery.
Specifically, "57,000 emails
had not been collected during
our initial document
collection in 2019."
The
argument is that they were
"not exported from Mimecast
due to batch limits."
Jump cut to
September 17, 2021 and Judge
Koeltl was considering the
fairness of the settlement and
attorneys fees of 28%. The
settlement is $95 million; the
expenses are over $1 million.
Judge Koeltl approved both.
The case is
Scheufele et al v. Tableau
Software, Inc. et al.,
17-cv-5753 (Koeltl)
