Court Appoints Trustee For Halliburton Plaintiffs

The Halliburton settlement just got even messier. Not only has the N.D. of Tex. rejected the proposed $6 million settlement, but the court now has appointed a trustee to protect the interests of the preliminary class members. The Houston Chronicle reports that Judge Lynn “made the decision to appoint the trustee, called a ‘guardian ad litem,’ Thursday, according to legal documents obtained Friday.”
