Class Action Automotive Antitrust Jtekt

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

With a case, which can be filed in either federal or state court, class action has its benefits. Because fewer witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along faster, while the overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for one off plaintiffs filing alone.

On the other hand, these types of cases do tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even moves forward, the prosecuting group must be named as a class. Federal courts, as well, can stop class action lawsuits if the defendants are state governments or officials or if the plaintiffs number less than {one hundred,100.
