7. Mass Tort. A mass tort occurs when a number of injury claims (for example, claims for harm caused by a prescription drug) are filed one by one, individually, which tends to create a huge amount of work for all types of lawyers, including defense lawyers. This is not a problem for the defense lawyer, of course, unless he is already busy working on a “class action.”

8. Class Action. A class action is the type of lawsuit a little guy uses to try to get the attention of a giant corporation after being harmed or cheated. According to tort reformers, class actions are a legalized form of extortion carried out by trial lawyers, plaintiffs’ lawyers, and class action lawyers. Class actions are often cited as Exhibit A in the movement for “tort reform.”

.------------

The class action rule is intended to improve court efficiency by allowing a large group of people with similar claims to join together in one lawsuit. One or more representatives of the harmed group go to court on behalf of everyone else who was similarly affected. If those representatives meet certain criteria, they are allowed to prove and settle not only their own claims, but the claims of everyone in the larger group as well.

(…) Mass tort cases, in which a lot of people have been physically injured in a disaster or by a dangerous product, are often denied class action status because the causes and extent of individual injuries vary so much from person to person. - http://www.lawyers.com/lawyers/A-1001362-LDC/CONSUMER CLASS ...

Y así, al concretarse ese hecho a partir de los pagos de los salarios del mes de julio de 2002 que, como sabemos, se comenzaron a efectivizar entre el 5 y el 13 de agosto de ese año, para completarse recién el 27 con los pagos al personal de la Dirección de Cultura y Educación, no puede sostenerse que la demanda colectiva del 24 de septiembre de ese mismo año (que busca amparo para todo el universo de empleados del Estado Provincial) se haya interpuesto fuera de tiempo. Es que a dicho entonces no habían transcurrido los 30 días hábiles que preveía el art. 6 de la ley citada. www.scba.gov.ar/noticias/fallos/b64621 UPCN .doc

No es posible hacer una demanda colectiva. Este es un tema que analizamos con abogados que colaboraron con nosotros y quedó descartado porque la demanda colectiva requiere de una asociación de personas (e inscripción legal de la asociación) que en nuestro caso no existe. - http://www.cordobanexo.com.ar/historiainicial.htm
