Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

Class Action v. opt-out

If a class action was done in California across the county for all persons in that class action and a form/opt-out papers were sent to all via regular mail does it count if one or more did not receive those opt-out papers? Can that party still go forward with there case? Say in Florida?

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

It would depend on the terms of the case and what the case was about. If the party knew or should have known, they may have lost their opportunity. Furthermore, the statute of limitations may have already expired.
