Access to Justice and Legal Costs: Discussion

I thank everybody for their responses. I have one final question on class actions. As a lay person, one sees how people have to go to such lengths to get their rights dealt with in the court system and through court procedure, and it only deals with that particular case. Somebody else coming along has to go through the same procedure. It is a very cumbersome and a wrong system for individuals to have to deal with. Could class actions be dealt with in a proper manner? What would be involved in making that happen and making it work in the justice system? If the witnesses could respond to that, that would be perfect.
