Class Actions

Class actions are court proceedings launched on behalf of a group of at least seven persons who have incurred injury or losses under comparable circumstances, ie where there are common questions of fact or law to be decided by a court.  Any person may commence a representative action where there are common questions without needing any other group members’ consent to efficiently deal with a dispute to decrease the time, expense, and risk associated with litigation by group members.
