CERTIFICATION FOR SETTLEMENT ONLY Sample Clauses
The 'Certification for Settlement Only' clause establishes that a class action is certified solely for the purpose of facilitating a settlement, rather than for litigation or trial. In practice, this means that the court recognizes the class as valid only to approve and administer the settlement agreement, and not to adjudicate the underlying claims. For example, if the settlement falls through, the class certification is void and the parties return to their pre-settlement positions. This clause ensures that class certification does not confer any litigation advantages and is used exclusively to streamline the settlement process.
