Subject: Pacificorp Legal --Now Collusion Allegations
(Reuters) - The law firms leading class-action litigation against PacifiCorp(PPWLM) over the 2020 Labor Day weekend wildfires in Oregon want to examine whether the utility owned by Warren Buffett'sBerkshire Hathaway(BRK/A) is colluding with other law firms to reach lowball settlements with fire victims.

In a court filing, Edelson PC, Keller Rohrbach and Stoll Berne said they were blindsided when PacifiCorp(PPWLM) and three law firms not involved in the class action jointly announced a $178-million settlement on June 3 with 403 victims of the Beachie Creek and Echo Mountain Complex fires.
