Summary
Since the modern American class action was introduced via the 1966 Amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it has become a very important form of litigation in the USA, where it functions as a key mechanism for private enforcement of law. There has been a long-standing debate on the class action procedure in the USA, but now this debate is no longer confined to American jurists. The class action has crossed borders and has been considered or emulated in many jurisdictions around the globe.
