Description
What is a class action?
A class action is a legal device allowing one person to sue as a plaintiff on behalf of all persons likely to have experienced the same injury. Class actions are often brought against corporations, such as telephone companies and credit card banks, when they overcharge or otherwise mistreat many customers in the same way. They are brought against the manufacturers of defective products. They may also be brought against a company or its officers on behalf of a class of shareholders in the company. Examples include:
purchasers of a company's stock or securities are injured because the company made fraudulent representations about its products or business prospects;
What are the benefits of a class action?
The class action promotes two principal goals. It provides a useful mechanism for prosecuting the claims of many persons whose injuries added together are significant, but which, individually, would not be large enough to justify the expense of bringing of individual lawsuits. It also prevents the clogging of the court system by allowing the similar claims of thousands of individuals to be adjudicated in one single action.
