Hilary Remijas and Joanne Kao v. The Neiman Marcus Group, LLC

Case No. 1:14-CV-01735 (N.D. Ill.)

United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois

UPDATE - On June 4, 2021, the Court entered the Final Order approving the terms of the Settlement, a separate Order granting attorneys' fees, costs and class representative service awards and a third Order granting objector Parvinder Chohan's petition for attorney's fees and an incentive award.

On May 7, 2020, the defendant in this case, The Neiman Marcus Group LLC, filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

Class Counsel filed a Class Proof of Claim in the bankruptcy action, and negotiated with Defendant and the bankruptcy trustee a stipulation, which was entered as an order by the Bankruptcy Court on April 15, 2021, under which the District Court may now rule upon the pending Final Approval Motion and related Fee Motions. If the District Court approves the Settlement, the bankruptcy will not affect, or reduce the amount of, the Settlement.

Please note that the Final Approval Hearing now will take place on June 2, 2021, at 1:30 p.m. Any further Objections to the Revised Settlement and/or Fee Requests are due by April 30, 2021.

If you used a credit or debit card at a Neiman Marcus Group Store between July 16, 2013 and January 10, 2014, you may be entitled to up to $100 from, and your rights may be affected by, a class action settlement.

A federal court authorized the Notice. It is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
