What is a certified class action suit?
A certified class action suit is one brought on behalf of a large group of people as plaintiffs who have suffered some similar harm from the same actions of the defendant or defendants.

The attorney representing the main plaintiff has no right to sue on behalf of someone who has not retained her unless the lawsuit claims to be a legitimate class action suit. It will not be treated as a class action suit until the plaintiff proves it should be handled as one. If that is proved, the court certifies the lawsuit as a class action.
