Working with JMBM, the California Hotel & Lodging Association (�CH&LA�) has developed a Global California Proposition 65 Settlement for all CH&LA members. JMBM was selected by CH&LA as the counsel of choice to assist the Association members to resolve the pending and threatened Prop 65 cases that have been plaguing the industry for two years. JMBM has worked closely with the California Attorney General�s office on this program and JMBM believes it will support the global settlement. The CH&LA is pleased to report an agreement in principle for a global settlement that can benefit all CH&LA members. The settlement will provide protection for past Prop 65 claims involving second-hand tobacco smoke and other chemicals commonly present at lodging facilities. With the procedures developed, the global settlement will provide res judicata protection � binding other potential claimants against future claims for these past violations. Jim Abrams, Executive V.P. of CH&LA says, �CH&LA retained the lawyers at JMBM to develop a low-cost global settlement procedure to help all CH&LA members obtain protection for past, present, and future Proposition 65 claims involving second-hand tobacco smoke and other chemicals. These attorneys are very experienced in fighting and defending Proposition 65 claims on behalf of innkeepers.� Here are some of the details:
