Batton plaintiffs file for a preliminary injunction to block NAR's Tuccori settlement in the related commissions case.
NAR joined the Tuccori settlement via an opt-in provision, paying about $52.25 million to resolve claims.
Proposed settlement is described as a 'reverse auction' by Batton plaintiffs, who seek to stop the deal.
Batton argues the Tuccori deal undervalues harms to the homebuyer class and ends litigation prematurely.
Other opt-ins include Anywhere Real Estate, United Real Estate, and Compass, potentially influencing Batton's challenge.
The Tuccori settlement amount contrasts with earlier Sitzer/Burnett payouts and prior 'icebreaker' cases.
Batton plaintiffs say the Tuccori deal could pressure ongoing race-to-the-bottom settlements.
The case landscape includes prior refusals and later appeals as the Batton plaintiffs challenge settlements.
The article notes the Tuccori settlement covered multiple entities beyond NAR, including state and local associations and some MLSs.
The Batton case involves a direct action against NAR, contrasting with Tuccori's broader opt-in framework.
