Class Action Automotive Antitrust Jtekt

As a general overview, class action lawsuits involve a large group of people in some capacity: A collective class, even bound together over the issue of a misrepresented product, suing a defendant, or a band of defendants, individual negligent companies, for instance, being sued by an individual. While more class action suits are filed for product liability claims, other types of cases end up in court, too, including shareholders suing for fraud, workers, and residents over environmental disasters.

Each case, which may be filed in either federal or state court, class action has its benefits. Because less witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along more efficiently, while the cost of litigation tends to be lower than for one off plaintiffs filing alone.

On the other hand, these types of cases also tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even progresses, the prosecuting group must be defined as a class. Federal courts, as well, may stop class actions if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
