In the event of someone being successful in putting forward a claim of defamation under section 9 — the defamatory statement would have had the effect of impugning a class of persons and damaging that class's reputation — would every member of the class be covered and able to state a case or would each case be separate?

I have asked a series of questions on the matter of class actions. Is it possible to state a case on behalf of a class of persons? For instance, would I be able to state a claim on behalf of a class of persons and give myself and how I have been impugned as examples?
