Consumers Overpaying Sales Tax

Farneth v. Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

Consumers filed a state class action alleging a national retailer overcharged sales tax when a coupon was tendered on a taxable item.  Mr. Pohl was retained by plaintiff as data and damages expert.  He identified the computer sources that contained the data necessary to calculate overcharges and worked with counsel to estimate overall damages.  His participation in the settlement negotiations helped the parties reach a settlement in the initial mediation session.
