Background
The case is In re Deere & Company Repair Services Antitrust Litigation, No. 3:22-cv-50188 (MDL No. 3030), in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, administered by Angeion Group. Deere agreed to a $99 million cash fund plus injunctive 'right to repair' relief that the parties value between roughly $393 million and $747 million, while denying the antitrust allegations. Class members who bought Deere large-agricultural-equipment repair services must file a claim to receive a monetary payment, while the injunctive relief applies automatically to the whole class. The claim-filing deadline is October 15, 2026, with exclusion and objection deadlines of September 15, 2026.
