Document Summary
Litigation: is the system of resolving disputes in court. Who can sue and be sued: class action: allows a single person, or a small group of people, to sue on behalf of larger groups of claimants. This is the most important step in the entire process. It demonstrates that the court believes it is a serious and genuine enough claim to be considered: certification: rep(cid:396)ese(cid:374)ts the (cid:272)ou(cid:396)t"s de(cid:272)isio(cid:374) to allo(cid:449) the (cid:448)a(cid:396)ious (cid:272)lai(cid:373)s to (cid:271)e joined together and to proceed as a class action. Legal representation: self-representation: you have the right to represent yourself. You can go into the court and argue your case to the judge, even if you are not a lawyer. Sometimes it is more worth it to just hire a lawyer rather then trying to fight a claim for yourself and loosing more money if you loose then if you hired a lawyer.
