Protecting Consumer Interest In Class Actions

Class actions can be an effective way to remedy consumer injury and deter corporate wrongdoing. Rolling individual injuries into a single legal action can vindicate consumer rights that might otherwise go without remedy. And the class action device can enable the private bar to seek resolution for some problems that government consumer protection agencies may not have the resources to pursue.

Sometimes, however, class actions do not serve the goals for which they were created, and the interests of private class attorneys and defendants appear to merge to the detriment of the class members. Class members may be offered coupons or other benefits without clear and complete information to judge their value, while defendants obtain broad releases and class counsel receive generous fees
