Newsweek – AT LEAST FOUR CLASS-ACTION SUITS FILED AGAINST CHINA, SEEKING TRILLIONS OVER CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK IN U.S.
At least four federal class-action lawsuits have been filed against the Chinese government that aim to recover trillions of dollars in damages for what plaintiffs allege is China’s failure to contain the coronavirus outbreak and notify the international community about its dangers.
In one suit filed in late March, a coalition of California property managers and an accounting firm are seeking to represent all “small businesses” in California that have suffered as a result of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. A suit filed in mid-March by several Florida residents aims to assemble its own class of millions of people.
