More than a year after a landmark $650 million Facebook privacy settlement was approved, checks for $397 each may finally be arriving for nearly 1.6 million Illinois users of the social media platform.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in Hawaii issued a ruling Thursday upholding the class-action settlement over Facebook’s alleged violations of Illinois’ biometric privacy law. Barring further appeal, the money will go to Illinois class members within 60 days, according to Chicago attorney Jay Edelson, who filed the lawsuit against Facebook nearly seven years ago.

PacifiCorp is facing more lawsuits stemming from last September’s devastating wildfires in Oregon.
The latest suits, filed in Marion County circuit court, are along the lines of earlier claims that the electric utility could have prevented the Beachie Creek fire that ravaged communities in the Santiam Canyon east of Salem.
In each of the two new suits, dozens of plaintiffs seek $750 million from the Berkshire Hathaway-owned company.

Two lawsuits filed Wednesday ask for more than $1 billion in damages from Pacific Power claiming negligence for igniting wildfires in the Santiam Canyon, according to court records filed in Marion County.
The two lawsuits represent over 100 different people impacted by the Beachie Creek Fire.
The two law firms leading the effort, Edelson PC and Johnson Johnson Lucas and Middleton, say Pacific Power, doing businesses as PacifiCorp, "failed to safely design, operate, and maintain its infrastructure leading to the fire."

After more than a year of battling in court, the owners of now-shuttered Westlake Hospital have agreed to pay Melrose Park $1.5 million under a settlement approved by the village board Monday.
The village sued Los Angeles-based Pipeline Health in Cook County Circuit Court in March of last year, after Pipeline said it would close Westlake.
