Key points
- Following a matter is free and creates no legal or financial obligation.
- You will be notified of filing, opt-out deadlines, settlement approval, and distribution dates.
- You can follow multiple matters simultaneously across different categories.
- Following is separate from registering your interest with a law firm.
- Notifications are delivered by email or SMS depending on your account preferences.
Following vs registering interest
These are two distinct actions. Following a matter on ClassActions.com.au subscribes you to registry updates — status changes, key dates, and public notices. Registering interest with a law firm is a separate step that signals you may be a group member and ensures you receive case-specific legal notices. You can do one without the other.
What updates you receive when following
- Status changes: investigation → filed → settlement approval → distribution.
- Court-set opt-out deadlines.
- Registration opening and closing dates.
- Settlement approval hearing dates.
- Final distribution announcements.
