Situation:
My girlfriend who was persuaded by her superior and attorneys, signed an agreement to be a lead plaintiff (representative) of a class action lawsuit against an online company in California CA. So now she and her work superior will be the Lead Plaintiffs of the class action (2 Lead Plaintiffs ??).
This could turn into a long arduous case with potential backfire of a sanction given to them by the defendant, although low still not a necessary risk. The hassle imho is not really worth it. Her decision was quite rushed because the superior and attorney wanted to file it the next day. Today after discussing and rethinking it through she does not want to be a Lead Plaintiff anymore, so she sent a notice via email to the attorney. She got a reply saying her name is already filed?
Q:
What can she do to pull out/ opt out of this. She is not trying to terminate the whole thing for them she just doesn't want to be involved. Can she maybe pass the position to someone else who wants it.
The lawyers say its filed but it's been only a day and im sure its not certified by court or approved yet. So I'd be grateful if I can get some advice for my girlfriend please. Thank you.
