Consumer Class Actions: 1.7.8.2 Manageability
In evaluating which of multiple claims to pursue, keep in mind that it is generally not wise in a class action to raise claims that require proof of different sets of facts. Attorneys should avoid complicating the litigation unnecessarily. It is advisable to limit a class action to one or two basic types of issues that rely on the same facts, same elements of the claims, or the same proof. A class is then more likely to be certified, and the case will then be easier to manage and more efficient to litigate, both for the attorney and the court.
