The Representative Plaintiffs in a class proceeding brought an application seeking court approval of a protocol to resolve a claims-processing issue, effectively amending the settlement to include Auxiliary Constables.
The Court dismissed the motion, finding it lacked jurisdiction to change the negotiated settlement without the Defendant's consent, as there was no gap in the agreement and the terms were being correctly applied.
Auxiliary Constables were explicitly covered by an earlier overlapping class action settlement.
