Be regularly reviewed To use a management metaphor, keep sharpening the saw. A class action is one court action raised by one or more people where the same law and facts apply to each individual claim. The advantage for the people making the claim is that costs are restricted because instead of each paying their own costs for their own case, there is only one claim and only one set of costs. So, each person making the claim might make a small contribution. This encourages people to join in a class action.
Class actions are common in the USA for claims against manufacturers for faulty products.
