Late file date on a class action lawsuit.

I did not receive a package on participating in a class action as it was not delivered. I presume that since I moved three times in a year this might have been the cause and I shared this information with the administrator. Still I submitted all the paperwork late and the administrator accepted it but mentioned that it would be up to the judge to rule. The court date has been set and the law firm handling the lawsuit is expected to suggest to the judge that he/she rule against the acceptance of my late filing. Is there any prior case law that would still allow me to argue for participation in the disbursement of funds. (BTW, the court date in 10 days away and I was recently notified.) - Is this your question? Add additional information
