"The Court must consider other factor, most notably in this case, the results obtained, which appear relatively meager."
"For the watchmaker subclass, only 91 watchmakers have asked for an application to become a qualified watchmaker and, as of March 4, 2009, only eight applications were actually been sent in. See Mot. 4 (noting that applications may be submitted until June 12, 2009-i.e., for another four months). At the hearing, Settlement Class Counsel provided updated information-i.e., that as of April 1. 2009, the total number of applications sent in was nine. Apparently seven of the applications were preliminarily rejected, leaving only two still under consideration. Defense counsel stated that one of the applications was rejected because the applicant was not a member of the class."
The watchmakers were submitted to a fourteen pages Evaluation Form to be accepted and receive parts from Cartier. This Evaluation Form gave Cartier the sole authority to accept or reject anyone.
It was not designed for a business cooperation between watchmakers and Cartier/Richemont, it was designed simply to give Cartier any excuses possible to reject any application as they wished.
For these reasons I did rejected this Evaluation Form as of: February 11, 2007.
Mr. Simon and Spellberg secretely accepted it and later forcibly defended it before Judge Chen.
Judge Chen above finding confirm the end result: "leaving only two under consideration".
For the watchmakers, no financial recovery were negotiated.
