How long does it take for a class action to be resolved?
Until the litigation is under way, this is impossible to determine. We have had cases resolve in six months or last six years. In our experience, a typical class action case takes approximately two to three years from the time the complaint is filed until a case concludes either with settlement funds distributed to plaintiffs, or by judgment or dismissal. Remember, this is only an estimate; some cases have taken longer, especially when there are appeals, while others have taken significantly less time to resolve. Some factors include the length of time the court takes to make decisions, the number of parties and the complexity of the fraud.
