Significant Proposed Amendments to FRCP Rule 23 Likely Pending Conclusion of Public Comment Period

Filed Under: General (Class Actions)

Earlier this year, the Judicial Conference Advisory Committees on Appellate, Bankruptcy, Civil, and Criminal Rules submitted proposed amendments to a number of Rules, including Fed. R. Civ. P. 23 (which governs class actions), and requested that the proposals be circulated to the bench, bar, and public for comments. The proposed amendments, advisory committee reports, and related information can be found on the Judiciary’s website and a copy is available here.
