I have a question: Is it possible for EJ to file a class action law suit if John hasn’t been convicted of anything yet? I know I get those things in the maill all the time but usually that is after the fact.
but since a court has to approve a class-action lawsuit (so many are frivolous), I think it may have to wait until such time that John’s criminal trial is over and he would be found guilty, along with Basic Black. That’s a good question, though, dval. Since class-action is a civil procedure, I think it would have to wait until after the federal/criminal trial outcome has been determined before E.J. could go forward with a class-action suit.
You do not have to be convicted of anything, in either criminal or civil court, to file a class action. There only has to be perceiveded wrong doing to a grout of people to file. The court can throw it out if it is deemed frivilous but you’d have to have a really stupid attorney to try that. (It HAS been done though.)
http://www.ehow.com/how_4598936_file-class-action-suit.html Here is a good (and short) explanation in ordinary language.
without the court’s approval, so how in the world did that happen so fast. Just another piece of putting the horse before the cart here.
EJ has judges on the payroll, I doubt he would have any trouble getting a Class Action lawsuit court approval. Plus if you think about it, many judges probably lost money, so even if it was not a paid by EJ judge, the judge might want to approve it because he lost money too. Or talked his buddy judge who didn’t lose money into it. If the Fed case is that tight of a case, the judge would have enough proof to approve the class action lawsuit.
