What are the steps I have to take in order to bring a class proceeding?
The first step is to have the action certified by the court as being a class action. The court will determine who may be included in the class. The court will appoint one or two people to represent the class in the proceeding. The class representative is the person responsible for providing instructions to the lawyer representing the class. The court will also establish which issues of law or facts are common among class members.
