How does a class action work?
A:
A judge decides whether to permit the lawsuit to proceed as a class action and, if so, who will be included in the group or class.
If the court decides to permit the lawsuit to proceed as a class action, it will appoint one or more persons to act as the representative for the others in the class. The representative will instruct counsel on behalf of the class members.
The court also decides on questions of fact and law which are common to the members of the class. Subsequently, a trial may be held to determine these common issues.
