antitrust class action

An antitrust class action is a legal case where a group of people or businesses (the class) sues one or more companies for allegedly violating antitrust laws. These laws are designed to promote competition and prevent unfair business practices, like price-fixing or monopolies. In a class action, the plaintiffs combine their similar claims into one lawsuit, making it easier and more efficient to seek justice. If successful, the group can receive compensation or help stop the harmful practices, benefiting many affected parties simultaneously.
