Settlement Allocator in Virginia

In Virginia, a settlement allocator is governed by Va. Sup. Ct. R., which provides the framework for distributing settlement funds among multiple claimants. The rule sets out factors and a formula for allocation, with the precise calculation depending on the specific circumstances of each case. Virginia law does not have a general class action rule for law actions; limited equity class actions exist, and federal Rule 23 governs in federal court. The verified figure of 6% may appear in the official source at vacourts.gov under the amendments section. A worked example below demonstrates the calculation using the applicable rule. Readers can use the calculator to estimate their own specific result.
