Proceeds from a class action lawsuit will help the New York Bar Foundation fund law-related charities around the state.
The foundation, the philanthropic arm of the New York State Bar Association, will receive $17,500 in funds from the case of Charles Milo v. Barney’s, Inc. The case involved alleged violations of the Truth in Lending Act at Barney’s, according to the foundation.
The money went unclaimed after settlement of the suit and a judge signed an order distributing it to the foundation. The foundation has received more than $1 million in such grants.
