FAIRNESS IN CLASS ACTIONS

Explore certification, predominance of common questions, numerosity factors, opt-in or opt-out choices, and cost-sharing in class action suits. Analyze represented claims, settlement process, and aggregate damages distribution based on LSC data from a 15-year study involving 955 cases across different sectors like child abuse, environmental issues, pharmaceutical claims, holiday disputes, disasters, and financial services matters. Case studies cover individual and representative claims, including child abuse, environmental, and financial cases, with a focus on LCD consultation in 2001, piecemeal development, and legislative acts like the Enterprise Act 2002 and Competition Act 1998 regarding consumer claims by specified bodies.
