Abstract
- The article discusses the proposed resurrection of a trial by statistics (TBS) program in America which allows a judge to hear a small amount of the total number of cases and resolve mass disputes with varying amounts of individual damages. According to the article, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously disapproved of TBS in the 2011 case Wal-Mart Stores Inc. v. Dukes. American class action litigation and liability are examined, as well as legal settlements and trials in the U.S.
