This can create a Balkanization in class-action cases.

We pursued this class action on our 250,000 members' behalf and are pleased with the tentative settlement. We have a fiduciary duty to the active and retired Ontario teachers for whom we invest to press the companies we invest in to deliver shareholder value. As this suit illustrates, we are prepared to act when necessary.

The message to European institutional investors is make sure they protect their interests at the start of a class action so that they will receive a recovery at the conclusion of the class action.

The organization later faced a class action lawsuit, and I got a rebate check as part of the settlement. Customer service problems can be very expensive for companies, and a lot of times they don't think about the long-term costs and the loss-of-loyalty issues they create.

Class action lawsuits are an important part of our legal system. All citizens should have the right to band together and settle grievances with bigger companies, but that system is broken and it needs fixing.
