- 公司和解集體訴訟主要是為了避免持續訴訟的更高成本。

Class action lawsuits offer groups of people, or ‘classes,’ a way to band together in court. These suits are often brought by one or a few people who allege a company or other entity has wronged a large group of people. When a suit becomes a class action, it extends to all “class members,” or people who may have similar complaints to those who filed the suit. Companies often settle class actions – offering payment to class members who typically waive their right to pursue further legal action by accepting money.
