Description: This book provides a complete and comprehensive defence of the use of the class action for the resolution of mass tort claims. The author explodes several popular myths regarding class actions including the notions that they infringe on litigative autonomy, they "blackmail" defendants, and they are only effective for numerous, low-value claims.
