Rose and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I applaud the FTC's ongoing efforts to ensure that class action settlements provide appropriate benefits to consumers, and I was grateful for the opportunity to serve as a panelist at the FTC's recent workshop focused on its staff report, Consumers and Class Actions: A Retrospective and Analysis of Settlement Campaigns. The staff report, which summarizes the findings of the FTC's Administrator Study and Notice Study, sheds important light on current practices in claims administration and on the effectiveness of those practices. Most importantly, it suggests that a pernicious trust barrier exists to consumer participation in class actions, highlighting the need for bold and fundamental reform to remove it. While the FTC presently lacks authority to enact the needed reform, it can and should help advocate for it.I have a recommendation for what this reform should look like. As I outline in section III and explore more fully in a working paper titled Classaction.gov, Congress should authorize the creation of a government-run class action website and supporting administration (collectively, “Classaction.gov”) that would centralize and standardize many of the services that private claims administrators provide today. Classaction.gov holds the potential to dramatically increase the number of class members that actually share in settlement funds, while at the same time reducing the costs associated with notice and claims administration -- thus leaving more money on the table for victims. It would also produce important additional benefits. For example, it would render class actions transparent, allowing researchers and the public to intelligently assess their value in our society, and could facilitate reforms designed to reduce class action agency costs.

Download or read book The Conservative Case for Class Actions written by Brian T. Fitzpatrick and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960s, the class action lawsuit has been a powerful tool for holding businesses accountable. Yet years of attacks by corporate America and unfavorable rulings by the Supreme Court have left its future uncertain. In this book, Brian T. Fitzpatrick makes the case for the importance of class action litigation from a surprising political perspective: an unabashedly conservative point of view. Conservatives have opposed class actions in recent years, but Fitzpatrick argues that they should see such litigation not as a danger to the economy, but as a form of private enforcement of the law. He starts from the premise that all of us, conservatives and libertarians included, believe that markets need at least some rules to thrive, from laws that enforce contracts to laws that prevent companies from committing fraud. He also reminds us that conservatives consider the private sector to be superior to the government in most areas. And the relatively little-discussed intersection of those two beliefs is where the benefits of class action lawsuits become clear: when corporations commit misdeeds, class action lawsuits enlist the private sector to intervene, resulting in a smaller role for the government, lower taxes, and, ultimately, more effective solutions. Offering a novel argument that will surprise partisans on all sides, The Conservative Case for Class Actions is sure to breathe new life into this long-running debate.
