More than 53,000 drivers notified in Fargo lawsuit
Fargo officials say letters have been sent to more than 53,000 drivers letting them know they qualify for part of a $1.5 million settlement over traffic fines.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Fargo officials say letters have been sent to more than 53,000 drivers letting them know they qualify for part of a $1.5 million settlement over traffic fines.
The settlement is for a 2007 class action lawsuit brought by Stephanie Sauby of West Fargo, who said the city of Fargo charged more for traffic fines than was allowed under state law.
The letters sent out this month notify drivers that they are eligible for up to 65 cents for each dollar in traffic fines they paid that exceeded limits set by state law.
Drivers must decide by Nov. 2 whether to participate in the settlement by submitting a claim form indicating their interest.
A hearing is scheduled Nov. 30 to give final approval to the settlement.
