Class Action

A class action is a type of lawsuit where a small group of individuals, known as the "class representatives," sue on behalf of a larger group of people, known as the "class," who have suffered similar injuries or damages from the same defendant. This legal mechanism is designed to provide a more efficient and economical way to resolve disputes involving numerous plaintiffs with common claims, particularly when the individual claims are too small to justify separate lawsuits. It prevents redundant litigation and ensures that justice is accessible even for those with modest individual damages.
