The court rejected the argument that the individual causes of actions raised unique factual issues that could not be resolved class-wide and would require individual consideration by a court. The reason for this rejection may be based on the principles of a class action, which aim to resolve multiple similar claims efficiently and cost-effectively.
In a class action, the court allows a group of individuals with similar claims to be represented collectively by a representative plaintiff. This enables the court to address common issues shared by the class as a whole, rather than having to individually consider each claim.
The court may have determined that while there might be some individual variations in the factual circumstances of each member of the class, the underlying legal issues and claims were similar enough to be resolved on a class-wide basis. If the court were to require individual consideration of each claim, it would defeat the purpose of a class action and result in unnecessary duplication of efforts and resources.
Additionally, the court may have taken into account practical considerations, such as the manageability and cost-effectiveness of resolving the claims as a class. By certifying the class, the court can ensure that the claims are handled efficiently and that all class members have an opportunity to seek redress without having to individually initiate separate legal proceedings.
