  • G8 was hit with a class action lawsuit about earnings guidance in 2017. 
  • The childcare operator settled the action on Monday for $46.5m.
  • It said no liability admissions were made and was a ‘commercial’ decision. 

G8 Education has settled a class action lawsuit for $46.5 million just weeks before a trial was due to start over the childcare giant having allegedly botched earnings forecasts.

The deal, announced on Monday morning with the Slater and Gordon-led lawsuit, was made without G8 admitting liability.
