Settlement Allocator in Maine

In Maine, a settlement allocator determines how a class action settlement is divided among class members under the procedures set by Me. R. Civ. P. 23. The rule governs the approval and distribution of settlement funds, including the allocation of attorneys’ fees, costs, and awards to class representatives. A verified figure of 6% applies as the benchmark for certain allocations, though the rule also provides for adjustments based on factors detailed in the official source. The exact formula and criteria for calculating individual shares are specified in the rule text, which the calculator applies automatically. The worked example below demonstrates how the allocation is computed. Use the DocketMath calculator to estimate your own settlement share.
