Class actions also come in many forms. A typical class action involves numerous consumers who are inflicted by a company with conduct that causes them some kind of damage. It is necessary in these cases to prove to the court among other things that there are enough people to certify the action as a class action; that the claims made by the named plaintiff are common to the class and are typical of someone making a claim; that the class plaintiff will adequately represent interests of all class members and; that the class action is the best way of handling these claims. A class action plaintiff must also be aware that he or she as named plaintiff will be acting on behalf of an entire class of people, and not only in his or her own interest. We discuss with our class action representatives the duties for which they are responsible and what he or she can reasonably expect to gain.
