A consumer class action is a lawsuit brought by a few people on behalf of a larger group of individuals, who have all been damaged by the same actions or conduct of the defendant. These cases often involve thousands of people and are filed to remedy various wrongs, including defective products, deceptive and unfair business practices, and unfair contracts.
