| An Ohio couple have pleaded not guilty to charges that they conspired to provide thousands of dollars to a Mideast terrorist group. Hor Akl and his wife, Amera Akl, appeared in federal court Tuesday in Toledo on charges they planned to conceal up to $500,000 to give to Hezbollah on behalf of anonymous donors in the United States. Amera Akl's family says they're planning to post a $750,000 bond and that it's possible she could be released later this week. The couple were taken into custody last week after prosecutors said an FBI informant provided them with $200,000 in cash. The couple were alleged to be preparing to hide the money in a vehicle that prosecutors said was to be shipped to Lebanon. |

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.
