A
"representative proceeding" refers to a legal case filed on behalf of a group of people who have similar claims or grievances against a company or entity. Instead of each person filing an individual lawsuit, one person is chosen to represent the whole group, known as the representative plaintiff. This helps save time and resources by resolving multiple cases at once. The outcome of the
representative proceeding usually applies to all members of the group, allowing them to seek justice together.
