Legal Question in Business Law in Oklahoma

Alan,

The answer to your questions is, yes, there is a possibility of a lawsuit to recover for what you described occurred. There are many fairly complex issues, however, including some recent US Supreme Court decisions that dramatically affect class action lawsuits. Alone, it's highly unlikely that a single individual could or would go through the trouble to get a remedy for this kind of activity through the courts; therefore, a class action is precisely the civil procedure mechanism for doing so.

Your comments lead me to suggest you contact an attorney familiar with a number of things, including (1) the recent Supreme Court decisions and affects on class actions in general; (2) federal court; (3) Multi-District Litigation [which is a federal court procedural mechanism]; and (4) someone familiar with the laws of Oklahoma [i.e., an Oklahoma attorney]. You have evidently done considerable research and investigation, and the information on which you base your conclusion needs to be thoroughly reviewed by an attorney. As for costs, I would also suggest that you deal with an attorney who would review the situation without charge to you, and that has experience in handling such matters on a completely contingent basis (i.e., if there is no recovery, you pay nothing).
