What are Class Actions?

A class action is a type of lawsuit where a group of people collectively bring a legal claim against a common defendant. This mechanism allows individuals with similar claims to join together and pursue justice as a group, rather than as individuals.

Key Aspects of Class Actions

  • Multiple Plaintiffs: Class actions involve multiple individuals, known as plaintiffs, who have suffered similar harm or damages.
  • Common Legal Issues: The plaintiffs share common legal issues and allegations against the defendant.
  • Representative Plaintiff: One or more individuals are appointed as representative plaintiffs to act on behalf of the entire class.

Benefits of Class Actions

  • Strength in Numbers: Class actions allow individuals to combine their resources and increase their leverage against powerful defendants.
  • Efficiency: Resolving similar claims in a single lawsuit can be more efficient and cost-effective than individual lawsuits.
  • Access to Justice: Class actions provide access to justice for individuals who may not have the resources to pursue legal action on their own.
