FAQ
Courts often read Rule 23 and Rule 12(f) together to conclude that the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure authorize early motions to strike class allegations. Rule 23(a) lays out the requirements for a plaintiff to certify a class: numerosity, adequacy, typicality, and commonality.
A motion to strike is a request to a judge that part of a party's pleading or a piece of evidence be removed from the record. During the pleading stage, this can be accomplished by a tool such as Rule 12(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or a state equivalent.
One of the key provisions of the FRCP is Rule 23. This rule governs how class actions are handled. FRCP 23 requires “class certification” for a case to proceed to class action litigation. This means that a judge must “certify” that the case is the right kind of case to move forward as a class action.
(1) As soon as practicable after the commencement of an action brought as a class action, the court shall determine by order whether it is to be so maintained. An order under this subdivision may be conditional, and may be altered or amended before the decision on the merits.
Motion to Strike This asks the court to take something out of the Complaint because it is not understandable, it is repetitive, it isn't legal, or it doesn't matter. This motion can help to limit what the case is about so you do not have to defend that part of the case.
An example would be if a judge determines a lawsuit as insignificant or the issue has been resolved. There are several reasons why a case can be dismissed with prejudice. In some cases, if the court finds the evidence presented does not support the claims, they may dismiss the case.
What happens next? If we filed the motion to strike in a trial court, then we will set the motion to be heard by a judge or magistrate, and be ruled upon. If we filed it in an appeals court, the appeals court will read the motion and offending document and will rule on it without hearing.
Rule 23 also imposes a responsibility on trial courts. Courts must conduct a “rigorous analysis” of the claims, defenses, issues, and evidence to determine whether the proof relevant to each element of a plaintiff's claims—and any affirmative defenses—is individualized or common.
