Good Faith Doctrine Could Revolutionize U.S. Class Action Proceedings
The paper suggests that using the concept of good faith, like in Israeli class action proceedings, could help fix issues in U.S. class action cases. In the U.S., there are problems with meritless lawsuits and unfair settlements. By requiring good faith in class actions, like in Israel, the U.S. could prevent abuse of the system. Israeli courts won't approve class actions filed for bad reasons, like extortion. Applying the good faith rule in the U.S. could improve the class action process and prevent misuse of the system.
