Class actions are the bane of companies and employers.
Class action. This phrase can send tremors through the boardrooms of corporations across the country, and for good reason. Originally intended to provide efficiency for the courts - to enable them to swiftly adjudicate disputes from large numbers of people at one time rather than having to deal with multiple, separate and individual lawsuits - class actions now tend to clog court dockets for years as the opposing parties engage in endless sparring matches over allegations, discovery, evidence and virtually everything else involved in the case. This white paper reviews why class actions tend to be twice as contentious as litigation and discusses the requirements for creating a class.
