Janice, do you have the docket numbers for the cases?
Also, the jurisdiction where each case you mention was filed?
Complaints are normally amended for TECHNICAL reasons rather than substantive.
One could read through each case to review the pleadings and decision. From your post, it states little about the content of each case or the reasoning behind the outcome of what you are referring to in your post.
I would like to read each myself. Such a large number of plaintiffs to manage would lead to technical decisions to be made to consolidate the lawsuit. Also again, an amended complaint is usually filed for this or other technical reasons. A judge or defense counsel isn't going to ask a plaintiff attorney to file an amended complaint so he has a chance to prove his case better..lol. Plaintiff counsel must prove his or her case from their own volution and evidence.
Yes, it's only my guess, but I would contend it is a tenchnical issue that the complaint is being amended. Such a stage (at amending a commplaint) is only the beginning stage of pleadings.
If illegal activity is occurring, it needs to be punished and stopped. If none is occurring, then so be it as well.
