Comments: 
The settlement for this case was a combined one and the moneys should not be counted twice. The other case is the MEJF v. Anthropologie AG case # 2011-00177 and this settlement is for both cases.

* A non-contingent civil penalty is the civil penalty that must be paid pursuant to the settlement, regardless of future events or actions of the defendant. If a settlement includes a contingent penalty, the plaintiff should report the additional penalty amount when it becomes due.
