Case Study Question - In a newspaper article of 3 May 2019 entitled 'AMP facing $100m super class-action suit' (in The Australian, by Ben Butler, p.20) it was reported that the law firm Slater & Gordon had unveiled plans to lodge a class action against financial services group AMP worth more than $100 million, and which was to be lodged on behalf of holders of superannuation funds who were allegedly charged excessive fees and provided with poor investment returns. According to the article, a representative of Slater & Gordon said they had already identified more than 8000 potential members of the class action, but expected there would be tens of thousands of potential members.
