While I'd love a percentage based fee, this is a damages suit, so it should be actual damages these people are owed, as determined by the court. A percentage just doesn't make sense here unless punitive damages were also on the table.

In principle I agree, though, breaking the law should not be an affordable "cost of doing business".
