Callaway and the SAG Plans Settle

In February 2007 the Callaway Golf Company sued the Screen Actors Guild Health the Pension Plans, seeking a declaratory judgment that the P&H allocation for covered services made by Callaway on behalf the the golfers who appeared in Callaway commercials was sufficient and that the allocation demanded by the plans was excessive. The parties settled the case on January 31, 2010 after years of discovery and nearly a week into the bench trial. The settlement is attached. Unlike many past settlements of allocation disputes and suits to enforce the provisions in the Commercials Contract, the Callaway settlement is public and free for all to see.
