These consolidated appeals stem from a nationwide class action settlement between General American Life Insurance Company (GALIC) and more than 240,000 current and former policyholders. The policyholders claimed that GALIC committed fraud and made material misrepresentations in the course of selling certain life insurance policies. GALIC agreed to pay at least $55 million to class members in the form of additional policy benefits.
