Class actions are lawsuits filed in civil courts on behalf of large groups of persons who have suffered injury. One common class action is a security class action, in which a lawsuit is filed on behalf of all investors in a particular stock, bond, or investment. Another common class action is a consumer class action, which usually is filed on behalf of consumers who have been injured or defrauded by a defective or malfunctioning product.
A class action lawsuit is where one person represents a large group of people. This is common where a group of people have a common cause that they want to bring to court.
