Class Actions Are Increasingly Common
Class actions were created as a way to resolve multiple disputes at the same time, but they are often unwieldy and inefficient nightmares. They take time and attention away from other issues companies need to address, are costly to defend, and can severely damage a business’s reputation and bottom-line if not properly resolved.
Plaintiffs’ attorneys know how devastating class action litigation can be, so they often push for prospective plaintiffs to band together to put pressure on defendants. It’s an effective tactic, but it also makes these cases vulnerable to attack.
Resolving Disputes as Efficiently as Possible
While The Law Offices of Andrew Dressel LLC partner Andrew Dressel is no stranger to the courtroom — often representing clients in both New Jersey state court and the federal court system — early resolution is often the key to successful class action defense. Getting cases dismissed before discovery, or before the judge certifies the class is the best way to minimize the disruption a class action lawsuit can cause.
Andrew attacks class action lawsuits as soon as they are filed by questioning their validity. Like any other civil lawsuit, a class action must be based on a real claim or controversy. It must also be filed in the appropriate venue. A shockingly large number of civil suits are dismissed soon after they are filed because they were filed in haste, and there is no real dispute for the court to adjudicate. The second way to attack a class action is by persuading the court not to certify the class of prospective plaintiffs. This can be done by showing that the plaintiffs do not have claims in common, or that it would be inappropriate to lump all of the plaintiffs together in one case.
Another way a business can head off a class action before trial is by settling the case. While this is not the preferred course of action for most businesses — especially if it may inspire copycat litigation — it may be the best option if the business needs to minimize costs or do something to salvage its reputation. If that is the approach to the taken, the attorneys of The Law Offices of Andrew Dressel LLC are seasoned, successful negotiators.
