How to perform group tasks

Thousands of class actions occur every year around the world, some of which have obvious advantages and require necessary compensation. Some actions can only be described as appalling and hypocritical. Most of us are aware of major class actions in the past decades, such as those against large tobacco companies. Of course, we have also seen popular movies such as Erin Brockovich, or at least know a little about the core legal plot.

In essence, a class action refers to the consolidation of multiple parties into a single legal action after they have filed the same or similar claims against the same company. In theory, this is more advantageous than dealing with each case separately. As a class action lawsuit, many core costs are shared in all claims, which can achieve economies of scale.

So far, these group operations have deployed a large number of human resources. They have been conducted manually in the face of all claimants, determined the merits and wrongs of all claims within the group, and collected the necessary case documents, identity documents, address certificates, power of attorney, power of attorney and other facts and cultural relics required for initiating claims within the group. In addition, more operational resources are provided, such as office space, workstations, computer and IT infrastructure, file storage, transportation, and telephones. Therefore, this initial stage is very labor-intensive and prone to human error. Generally, there will be a long delay in the litigation process, which has increased the cost considerably. It takes a long time to collect all the information needed. Sometimes it takes several years to create, copy, and save all the files created for the startup event. The initial bill registration phase is a complex task with high cost.

Unfortunately, for unfamiliar people, this is just an amazing accumulation of huge bills, which deviates from the starting point. Therefore, it is really fun to wear a seat belt and add a few blank pages to the existing case budget.

These class actions are usually filed only against wealthy companies. Considering that if they lose, the total amount of punitive awards and monetary damages they should bear can usually reach tens of millions or hundreds of millions. The defendant can rest assured that a strong and experienced legal team will be formed to defend the lawsuit. Therefore, in the fight between David and Goliath, the typical strategy of the defendant’s expert legal team is to look down on the litigant lawyers with their large checkbooks. They created continuous obstacles and achieved this. Even according to seemingly insignificant details, each requires litigation lawyers to re focus resources and effectively deal with each obstacle. This repeated process often drags events for several years, even extremely destructive, exceeding the most generous initial estimates. Therefore, now your expensive resources have been transferred with little progress, and when your budget burns in the direction of the ridge, there is no end in sight. They will actively promote the expenses that far exceed the budget in the worst case. In many cases, this small law firm will go bankrupt and eventually go bankrupt.

The Group Activity Platform (GAP) in GMT solves common problems when performing group or group behaviors by:

• “Front view”; “Backward tilt”; Automation from registration to management to case settlement;

• Very flexible self-service configuration to meet the needs of each case

• Reduce time to market (provide new cases within minutes)

• Reduce costs (operations, logistics and personnel)

• Minimal intervention required (maximum automation, exception management)

Dean Robertson, Technical Director of the Group’s Management Technology Department, said: “Our comprehensive GAP class action management platform is highly flexible and easy to use. It is an online technology that changes the rules of the game. It can automate the end-to-end key return event management process, greatly reducing the time and costs, and is basically close to zero.”
