When U.S. District Court Judge William G. Young told lawyers Sept. 27 that he had serious concerns about the proposed TJX settlement, he also took issue with the part that would allow for consumers to turn the vouchers into cash by selling them. In a courtroom exchange, TJX attorney Harvey J. Wolkoff argued that there is an easy way for a consumer to turn the vouchers into cash. "These vouchers are fully transferable, so that someone can take a $30 voucher and sell it on eBayI've never done it myselfand get $25," Wolkoff said. Replied Young: "Too hard for me, Mr. Wolkoff. Too hard for me. These are consumers. People know how to cash checks. Saying, 'Go to eBay and negotiate it' won't cut it."
