Class Action Automotive Antitrust Jtekt

On a very general level, class action lawsuits involve a large group of people in some capacity: A collective class, held together over the issue of a faulty product, suing a defendant, or a band of defendants, individual negligent companies, as an example, being sued by a single person. While more class action lawsuits are filed for product liability claims, other types of cases end up in court, too, including groups of shareholders suing for corporate fraud, employees for discrimination, and residents over environmental disasters.

With a case, which can be filed in either federal or state court, class action lawsuits has its pluses. Because fewer witnesses overlap, the trial process understandably moves along more efficiently, while the overall cost of litigation tends to be lower than for separate plaintiffs filing alone.

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