The CLCU team is actively working to consolidate all duplicate claims from a single filer or firm under one “Live” claim and label the others as “Confirmed Duplicates.” If you would like a specific claim to be designated as the “Live” claim, please send a message through the portal identifying that particular claim.
a. The Plaintiff’s Leadership Group is currently undertaking an effort to identify duplicates and resolve multi-representation claims within their group. This process will continue until mid-September, however, CLCU recognizes not all firms are participating in the PLG deduplication process. CLCU will continue processing claims in two categories: 1) those where duplicate filings have been withdrawn by the filers, and 2) those ready for settlement under the Elective Option. On a case-by-case basis CLCU will share multi-representation information with filers of a claim that is otherwise ready for settlement in an effort to allow that filer to resolve the multi-representation issue (this includes pro se claimants who have affirmed that they are not represented). b. Claimants are encouraged to seek withdrawal of all claims that they do not desire to advance via the filer of that claim. For claimants who are seeking to change/terminate representation on a specific claim, follow the Representation Change process here: https://clclaims.jag.navy.mil/Submit-Request/. c. CLCU will entertain deduplicating multi-representation claims if the Representation Change process is unsuccessful if claimant submits a letter in the Portal, signed by the claimant and their attorney (if represented) with the following elements included:
I, [Claimant’s Full Name], born on [Claimant’s Date of Birth], hereby declare under penalty of perjury that:
1. I have reviewed the administrative claims filed on my behalf under the Camp Lejeune Justice Act and understand that multiple law firms have submitted claims on my behalf.
2. I affirm that I wish to be represented solely by [Name of Law Firm or Filer] in this matter, and intend to proceed only with claim number [Claim Number].
3. I have taken steps to dismiss all other law firms from my claim. I direct the Camp Lejeune Claims Unit to deactivate any claims filed on my behalf by any firm other than [Name of Law Firm or Filer]. The claims I am disclaiming as duplicative are: [CLCU-(all Claim Numbers)].
4. I understand that this affidavit is a binding declaration of my intent regarding legal representation for my claim.
The letter should be uploaded via Portal Message with the subject: Multiple Representation Letter.
The Department of the Navy will notify you of your options, in writing, if your claim is denied.
