Our investigation follows the proceedings commenced by the ACCC against Woolworths for allegedly breaching the Australian Consumer Law by misleading consumers through discount pricing claims.

GMP Law has commenced a Class Action against Philips over alleged faulty ventilator machines. Anyone who currently uses or has used a Philip mechanical ventilator machine could potentially get significant compensation.

We are investigating the manipulation and misreporting of Diesel Emissions Engine Testing by many of the world’s leading car manufacturers.

We are investigating the impact of the M1 Pacific Highway construction between Ballina and Grafton, and its relationship to the flood damage caused to the Northern Rivers community.

Frequently Asked Questions

More information about Class Actions

Commonly asked questions about Class Actions in Australia.

A class action is a type of lawsuit in which a group of seven or more people collectively sue another party, typically a company or organisation, for similar legal claims. The group, or “class”, is made up of individuals who have suffered a similar harm or injury as a result of the defendant’s actions or products.

The purpose of a class action is to enable individuals who have suffered harm or loss, that may not otherwise have the resources to make a claim, to band together and seek justice as a group. Class actions are commonly used in cases involving consumer fraud, product liability, securities fraud, employment discrimination, and environmental contamination.

If a court certifies a class action, all members of the defined class are considered part of the lawsuit, even if they did not individually initiate the lawsuit. If the class action is successful, damages are distributed among the plaintiffs, usually based on the severity of their individual losses.

Australian Class Actions operate on an opt-out basis. If you are part of a class action, you will receive notification.

This implies that all individuals impacted by the event or situation automatically become part of the action. These members are obligated to abide by the court’s decision or settlement unless they choose to opt-out.

To start a Class Action in Australia, you must:

  1. Have a group of 7 or more individuals as claimants
  2. These individuals must be connected by the same or similar circumstances
  3. The claim must pertain to at least one shared legal or factual issue.
