A: It seems a little unusual that ACT testing would risk their reputation with illegal practices. That being said, if you have an actual class action suit, most litigation attorneys are eager to take class action suit. Especially, if the case has merit.

Keep in mind, you only need a single "class representative" to file a lawsuit. The problem is that you will need to have the Court to "certify" the class action before you can proceed. There is no exact number of plaintiffs to obtain certification; however 30 plaintiffs should work as a general rule.
