Too bad it won’t happen in the P.S.A. — as long as Bushy or the republicrats are in office.

I’m a french, and i’ve got bad news for you : class actions is not an action recognized by french law, so basically the thing those french lawyers are doing is neither legal or illegal, it is so to say a-legal. Something new, thus it’s better to be careful and not have too big hopes.

Besides, in France, lawyers had no right to enrich themselves with penalties issued by a court (is a judge says “100 000 euros’ fine”, the lawyer won’t get a single percent of it), which is why there won’t be lawyers knocking on your door to suggest you to sue someone.
Super difference, as compared to the USA, isn’t it ?
But considering that, that “french class action” is a problem once again, since you have to pay 12 euros to join in while you have no idea of the success chances, and is likely to be sued itself (the lawyers behind it) by consumer protection associations.
