Why is the lawsuit a class action. In a “class action lawsuit,” one or more people called “Class Representatives” xxx on behalf of people who allegedly have similar claims.

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.
