A class action is a form of lawsuit in which a group of people, or class, collectively pursues in court a claim which affects all of the members of the class. One person sues as the representative of the group. The idea is that where there is a shared, common issue involving many people, the court can more efficiently resolve it in one court case instead of many separate court cases.
