Class actions are among the most effective tools for consumers to protect their rights against large corporations and obtain relief for harm caused by corporate greed or misconduct. A consumer class action is a lawsuit in which one person or a small number of people sue a business on behalf of a large group of individuals, all of whom have the same or similar claims against the business. Consumer class actions have been used to keep defective products out of the marketplace and to make corporations pay damages for intentional misrepresentations about the products and services they sell. The California Supreme Court has recognized the importance of consumer class actions because they provide an effective remedy for small claims that might not otherwise be addressed. Because of their effectiveness, corporate interests constantly attempt to discredit class action lawsuits and the attorneys who file them. Despite this effort, they remain one of the best devices for large numbers of consumers to achieve justice for corporate wrongdoing.
