An item in Friday’s issue of TBA Today contained information from a KnoxNews story that was not correct. The article dealt with the awarding of cy pres funds in a recently decided lawsuit involving international accounting firm KPMG LLP. The article incorrectly stated that Tennessee attorney Gordon Ball had argued for unclaimed funds to be directed to the University of Tennessee's Neel Corporate Governance Center. That request was in fact made by lead plaintiff Lewis Cosby, as is noted in the Report and Recommendation filing from U.S. Magistrate Judge Debra Poplin. The article also said that there was more than $23 million available in unclaimed funds. This is incorrect. That number is the amount set aside for victims, not the amount unclaimed.

A news item in Friday’s TBA Today said that a temporary restraining order had been issued to halt the state's new law banning minors’ access to gender-affirming care. No such order has been issued, though the American Civil Liberties Union in April sued on behalf of several Tennessee families and a Memphis doctor, and the Department of Justice later joined the lawsuit asking the court to do so. The Tennessean has since updated its story that was the source for the TBA Today item.
