Judges can consolidate cases upon their own accord.
Only in the jurisdiction they are judge for. An Ohio judge cannot consolidate cases in Texas. Reread the post.
A Federal judge in a Federal Court sure can.
I'll give you one last chance to reread the post and try to comprehend what was being put forth.
I have always had a belief on this that those seeking, or looking into, anti-trust suits against Big Tech were approaching it wrong.
They always cite Federal Law. I think this is the wrong avenue. If 150 people file suit under Federal Law, all of those suits can be consolidated into one, making it far easier and economical for the defendant. However, if those same 150 filed 50 different suits under each State's version of those same laws, would they not have to defend each separately, thereby making it much more difficult and costly?
Seems to me if someone wanted to do this, that would be the way to go. Correct me if that is simply not doable.
