Our partner Joanna Sweet wrote an article for The Litigator titled “The Implications of Combined Actions.” The article appears on page 36 of the Summer 2023 Edition of the publication.
The article discusses litigation involving multiple claims by multiple plaintiffs that involve the same circumstances.
For example, there are differences between consolidating these claims or hearing matters together.
There are also various strategic considerations with combined actions, such as:
- Timing
- Jurisdiction
- Dealing with counsel
- Sharing information
- Settling
- Trial considerations
Sweet also offers tips on how to avoid prolonging the legal process.
