Lawyers to be chosen for Hannaford lawsuit

By The Mainebiz News Staff

A U.S. District Court Judge in Portland will decide this week which lawyers will pursue a class-action lawsuit against Hannaford Bros. Co.

Two groups of lawyers are competing to represent more than four million consumers whose credit and debit card numbers were stolen from Scarborough-based Hannaford Bros. between December and March. The Portland firm Murray, Plumb & Murray and Lewis Saul, an attorney with offices in Portland and New York City, are competing against a group of five out-of-state law firms from cities including Chicago, Boston and Miami, according to the Portland Press Herald.

Judge D. Brock Hornby heard arguments on Monday from the two groups on why they should be chosen to lead the Hannaford breach case, the paper reported. Hornby expects to make a decision later this week.
