Class Actions

“Allowing a case to go forward as a class action where the critical requirements of class certification are absent – be it ascertainability, predominance or typicality – often creates a no-win situation for the defendant regardless of whether the claims involved have any substantive merit. As a result, defendants are frequently forced to settle non-meritorious claims simply because they have been denied procedural fairness. For this reason, PLAC is actively involved in amicus efforts, particularly at the appellate level, to ensure fairness in class certification proceedings.”— John H.
