WHY JOIN A CLASS ACTION?
  • Joining a class action is a way to have your disputes resolved in a low-risk, low-cost manner.  In most circumstances, class actions are pursued on a contingency fee basis, meaning that class counsel is only paid if a settlement or court award is achieved.  Class counsel fees would then be paid out of the settlement or award.
  • Joining a class action requires little effort on your part.  In most circumstances, you are not required to provide any documentation until the case has been resolved either through settlement or court award.  At that stage, you would simply be required to file a claim form.
  • Class actions provide a mechanism for pursing claims of relatively small monetary value.  Unfortunately, the costs of litigating is often prohibitive to pursuing one’s legal rights.  By bringing an action on behalf of hundreds, or thousands of individuals, class actions make it possible to pursue claims that would otherwise be uneconomical.
  • Class actions provide a mechanism for leveling the playing field with defendants that often have significant resources.  Again, by bringing an action on behalf of hundreds, or thousands of individuals, class actions provide for greater bargaining power on the part of the injured parties.
  • The class proceeding legislation contains many safeguards to ensure that the rights of class members are protected.  For example, any settlement reached in a class action must be approved by the court as being fair, reasonable and in the best interests of class members.
