A group action is a way for a group of people to come together to address a common issue or seek justice. This legal process allows individuals with similar claims to file a single lawsuit, making it more efficient and cost-effective. Group actions are often used in cases involving consumer rights, employment disputes, or environmental issues. In a group action, one or more representatives act on behalf of the entire group, known as the class. This approach helps ensure that everyone affected by the issue can participate in the legal process, even if they cannot afford to pursue individual claims.
