Why is the lawsuit a class action Sample Clauses

Why is the lawsuit a class action. In a “class action lawsuit,” one or more people called “Class Representatives” sue on behalf of people who allegedly have similar claims. The people together are a “Class” or “Class Members.” The Court preliminarily has decided that this lawsuit can be a class action for settlement purposes. However, final certification of the Settlement Class will depend on the Court granting final approval of the Settlement. This means that, if the Settlement does not receive final approval by the Court, then Class Members will not get benefits under this Settlement, and Plaintiffs will need to go back to Court to seek to certify a class and prove their case through trial even if a class is certified.
