Q: What is a class action?
A:
A class action is a civil lawsuit commenced by one or more persons on his, her, or their own behalf, which seeks to include others who have suffered a similar harm at the hands of the same person, company or group.
A court is then asked to decide whether or not the lawsuit meets certain legal criteria and to be certified as a class action on behalf of a group of people.
Once a class action is certified, it allows a group of people to have access to the court in situations where the case would be too expensive or complex for one person to sue on his or her own.
