As To The Settlement Agreement And The Appended Exhibits, In Particular The Sample Forms Of Disclosure Of The "resort Fee", [ 80, 81, 83, 84, 86, 87 ], The Court Gives Notice And Advises The Parties That Based On Its Review, It Would Appear That Such Disclosures Are Inadequate, In That The Fair Reading Of Them Is That The Potential Guest Booking A Reservation Would Reasonably Conclude That The Disclosed "resort Fee" Was A "one Time" Charge, No Matter The Length Of The Reservation/Booking, When It Would Appear To The Court From The Balance Of The Filings In This Case That The Nub Of The Controversy Was The Charge Of A "resort Fee" On A Per Night Basis, And That Such A "per Night" Charge Would Continue. If The Court's Assessment Of The Situation Is Accurate, The Court Advises That It Would Not Likely Approve The Settlement In The Current Form, Due To The Inadequacy Of The Disclosure As Noted In This Notice. (signed By Chief Judge Mark R. Hornak This Date)(this Constitutes The Notice From The Court, No Separate Pdf Document Will Issue)'.
