Federal law defines a class action as “any civil action filed under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or similar State statute or rule of judicial procedure authorizing an action to be brought by 1 or more representative persons as a class action.”  28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)(1)(B), (d)(8)....Read more
