Numerosity
adequate number of plaintiffs
Commonality
common damages and legal
issues
Typicality
each class member's claim
must come from the same event, and must
make the same legal argument
Adequacy of Representation
the
representative plaintiff will adequately
protect and represent the interest of
the class
Viability of Defendant
although it is
not a requirement of the court, it is
reasonable to assume that if the accused
does not have the means to compensate
for the alleged damages and legal costs,
it would be difficult to entice a law
firm to represent the class.
