Class-action Lawsuit Settlement Cost Rises

In the wake of Nortel’s plans to cough up $2.47-billion of cash and stock to settle two major class-action lawsuits, the company’s insurers have subsequently agreed to chip in another $228.5-million as a result of their liability coverage for Nortel officers and directors. The additional cash means Nortel will become the fourth-largest settlement of a U.S. class-action securities fraud sit, just behind the $3.2-billion paid by Cendant Corp.
