The article discusses the authors' claim that American courts involved in civil litigation matters between private non-governmental parties should observe a presumption against approving legal settlements that contain prospective injunctive relief, and it mentions how parties to a class action proceeding do not have any incentive to benefit either absent class members of society in general. American public law and constitutional standing requirements are assessed, along with legal remedies.
