Fairness Hearing
A fairness hearing is a legal process where a court reviews a proposed settlement or agreement, often involving large groups of people, such as class action lawsuits. The purpose is to ensure the deal is fair, reasonable, and in everyone's best interests. During the hearing, parties can present information and objections, and the judge evaluates whether the agreement adequately protects the interests of those affected. If approved, the court finalizes the settlement, allowing the involved parties to move forward with confidence that the resolution is just.
