A class action is a legal claim brought by seven or more individuals who have been affected by the same issue. When a wrongful act impacts a large group, these claims can be consolidated into a single case, providing an efficient path to justice for those who may lack the resources to pursue their claims individually or who might not even realise they have a right to do so.
Class actions not only empower individuals to seek justice collectively, but they also enhance the overall value of the claims by pursuing them as a unified group.
As a vital component of the legal system, class actions streamline the legal process and offer significant advantages. They minimise the risks, costs, and time associated with filing individual claims, making it a more effective option for those seeking accountability and redress.
