Abstract

The article discusses the U.S. District Court case Reid v. Unilever United States, Inc., where the court rejected more than half of the requested attorney fees. It mentions that the court is focused on redacted billing entries, writing press releases time spent for inquiries from television outlets, and clerical tasks of attorneys. It states that the court explained that the fee request should exclude time which are documented inadequately or not reasonably expended during the litigation.
