You’re facing or considering a class action in Singapore. Scope, funding and the representative question come before anything is filed.
Information, not advice
This page is information, not legal advice about your matter. A retainer begins only when a lawyer confirms it.

Settle who is in the group and who is paying, before anything is filed
There is no opt-out class regime, so representative proceedings and how they are funded decide what is possible.
What to work through, in order
Defining the class
There is no opt-out class regime. Representative proceedings require the same interest, and the courts manage related claims through consolidation.
Funding and costs
Third-party funding is permitted for prescribed proceedings. Costs follow the event, which shapes the economics of any group claim.
Carriage and competing proceedings
Overlapping claims are consolidated or case managed together, and forum questions arise early where parties are cross-border.
