StarKist has asked the Supreme Court to review a lower court ruling certifying a price-fixing lawsuit filed against it as a class action.
A class-action lawsuit is filed when a group of people or businesses suffer common injuries as a result of a party’s alleged conduct. At least one individual or entity acts as a representative of the group. In order for the lawsuit to proceed, a court first needs to decide if the various allegedly injured parties have enough in common to be certified as a class.
