1. class action

   A class action is a type of lawsuit where a large group of people collectively brings a claim to court. This typically occurs when the group has suffered similar harm from the same product, service or action by a company or a particular individual. This kind of legal action allows the court to handle numerous similar cases at once, providing efficiency and consistency in judgments. One or several members of the group, known as the class representatives, may file the suit on behalf of the entire class.

1. Class action

   In law, a class action, a class suit, or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. Class actions are commonly referred to as class action suits; however, this phrase is redundant as the historical distinction between "actions" at law and "suits" in equity is no longer recognized. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon. However, in several European countries with civil law, as opposed to the Anglo-American common law system, changes have been made in recent years that allow consumer organizations to bring claims on behalf of large groups of consumers.
