The Circa “Comp Dollars” Class Action
Chitwood v. Circa is the class action publicly linked to Kind Law. The case targets the Circa Hospitality Group and its “Comp Dollars” program, and a claims database indicates that a settlement in the matter received preliminary court approval.4ClaimDepot. Kind Law The specific allegations, class definition, and settlement terms available publicly are limited. If you believe you were affected by the Comp Dollars program, the claims administrator’s notice is the source that will spell out eligibility, deadlines, and payment amounts.
The IM Academy Advertising Episode
Kind Law, together with Ben Travis Law, ran Instagram advertisements suggesting that consumers harmed by IM Academy’s “alleged deceptive trade practices” might be entitled to compensation. Truth in Advertising (TINA.org), a nonprofit that monitors ad claims, reported that it could not find a pending lawsuit or settlement supporting those ads. After TINA.org’s inquiry, the firms revised the ads to remove references to “compensation.” In a statement, the firms said they “have the utmost respect for TINA’s reporting” and could not comment on active or pending litigation.5Truth in Advertising.
