Class Action Automotive Antitrust Jtekt

On a very general level, class action lawsuits involve a group of people in some capacity: A collective class, held together over the issue of a defective product, suing a defendant, or a group of defendants, individual negligent companies, as an example, being sued by an individual. While most class action lawsuits are filed on behalf of product liability claims, other types of cases also conclude 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 pluses. Because fewer witnesses overlap, the trial process inevitably moves along more efficiently, while the cost of litigation tends to be lower than for individual plaintiffs filing alone.

Additionally, these types of cases also tend to have drawbacks. Before the lawsuit even moves forward, the collective 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.
