This bill yanks class action? Is that right?

Personal injury suits will remain state unless folded into CA...is that correct?


What do you think is the most important thing that could be done?

Punitive limits?

Loser pays?

I really don't know.

haven't really had a chance to look at the text of the new law/bill. It's my understanding that it federalizes some class action cases over a certain dollar limit.

"Loser pays"/"The British Rule" or some variant of it is the ultimate answer to lawsuit abuse, IMHO.
