Eugene Chiarelli, Terry Mollica, "The Class Action Conundrum: Disclosure of Private Financial or Medical Records"

Excerpt: "Although by far still a field dominated by securities litigation, the use of class actions in consumer oriented cases has become more prevalent in recent years.  More and more, advocates and consumer law attorneys seeking to bring "impact litigation" have chosen the class action as the vehicle to do so cost effectively.  While such suits do present substantial opportunities for judicial economy and sharing of costs, they can also create conflicting obligations when it comes to the rights of the members of the represented class, particularly where the personal consumer information may be at the root of the case."
