| Two former employees of the Maranello Italy based Ferrari Formula One team who later worked for the rival Toyota Motorsport F1 team in Cologne, Germany have been found guilty of industrial espionage and have been given suspended prison sentences. The Italian Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper reports that Mauro Iacconi and Angelo Santini were found guilty by a Modena court in a case in which they charged with espionage, including gaining unauthorised access to Ferrari's computers and the misappropriation of files. Santini and Iacconi, who were dismissed by Toyota before the case was made public, have both appealed against their sentences. |

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
